A Confidentiality Agreement between a Scientist and an Outside Company is a legally binding contract that requires the Scientist to protect the confidentiality of certain information or data shared with the Company. The agreement establishes the expectations between the Scientist and the Company concerning the disclosure of confidential information related to the Scientist's employer. Generally, it requires the Scientist to keep the confidential information secret and to not use it for any purpose other than as described in the agreement. There are different types of Confidentiality Agreements between Scientists and Outside Companies concerning Employer permission to disclose Confidential Information, including: 1. Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA): This agreement outlines the confidential information that will be shared and sets limits on how it can be used. 2. Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement (MNA): This agreement is signed by both parties and outlines the confidential information to be shared, as well as the obligations each party has to protect it. 3. Proprietary Information Agreement (PIA): This agreement sets limits on the disclosure of confidential information, including what information is considered confidential and what the Scientist can do with it. 4. Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement (ANNA): This agreement prohibits the Scientist from using the confidential information for any personal gain or to compete with the employer. It also requires the Scientist to keep the confidential information secure and to not share it with anyone outside the Company.
