What is a Non-Disclosure Agreement?

A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legal contract between parties that establishes confidential information sharing. It is most often used in the artistic arena to protect a creator’s copyright or intellectual property rights. In Oregon, NDAs are taken very seriously and provide a great deal of protection for the creator and the creation itself. An NDA is an agreement between two or more parties that outlines confidential information that is not to be shared with anyone else. It can cover a range of topics such as inventions, new products, business plans, and client information. NDAs are especially useful when two parties want to keep proprietary or sensitive information confidential. Once a Non-Disclosure Agreement has been signed, it is legally binding and creates legal rights and obligations between the parties. In Oregon, this includes taking any necessary steps to protect the confidentiality of the information, such as not sharing it with anyone outside of the agreement, not using the information for personal gain, and not revealing it to any third parties. NDAs are not only important to protect intellectual property, but also protect the reputation of the artist or business. By having an NDA in place, the creator is ensured that their work is legally protected and that no one else will be able to use it without their permission. In Oregon, NDAs are a great way to protect your artistic work and guarantee that it will remain confidential.
