NDAs That Work — When They Matter and When They Don’t
By Gary N. Lipson, Esq. | Law Office of Gary Lipson, LLC
Use NDAs where they protect real value, such as in R&D and trade secrets, and keep them specific. Align the term with the data — longer for early research, shorter for production information. Short, clear definitions and simple permitted-use language are more enforceable than broad promises that try to cover everything.
