In Georgia, 'trade secrets' refer to valuable business information that derives its economic value from being kept confidential. This can include formulas, customer information, compilations, processes, data, or any information that gives your business a competitive edge.
Attention to detail and clear language are crucial to creating an airtight Georgia non-disclosure agreement. Follow these steps when writing your mutual or unilateral NDA:
- Identify the involved parties: Clearly state who the agreement pertains to (the disclosing and receiving party).
- Define confidential information: Explain the subject matter and provisions of this agreement. In other words, what constitutes confidential or specific information, such as trade secrets or proprietary information. Leave no room for ambiguity.
- Specify disclosure purpose: Detail the exact reasons and scenarios under which such information can be shared.
- Time period: Clearly outline how long the NDA lasts and detail potential disclaimers or waivers.
- Outline recipient obligations: Clearly articulate the responsibilities and restrictions placed upon the receiving party.
