Description

Privileged communication is information/communication shared with only a few people for furthering certain purposes. This is an extensive form for execution by employees, where the employee agrees to keep various information used by the company confidential. The employee also agrees that various inventions and ideas developed by the employee related to the business of the company are deemed owned by the company. Such an agreement is especially important for technology companies. It is a common practice for employers to require employees involved in research and development or other technical work to sign agreements assigning in advance to the employer their ownership interest in any inventions they create while employed. A New Jersey Confidential Information and Invention Assignment (CIA) is a legal agreement that outlines the terms and conditions under which an employee or contractor working for a company in New Jersey agrees to assign all confidential information and inventions created during the course of their employment. The purpose of this agreement is to protect the company's intellectual property rights and ensure that the employee's work and inventions belong to the company. Keywords: 1.
