How not to lose a technological advantage?

In many companies, technology and intellectual property (IP) are the main, or even the only, business advantage.

Transactions sometimes require disclosing technology / IP. Beyond the exposure itself, today's customer or partner may become tomorrow's competitors. The loss of intellectual property may erase the commercial advantage and lead to losses and even collapse._ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
This is one of the biggest risks in transactions and technology businesses in general and high-tech in particular.

​

NDA - Confidentiality Agreements

Many times, even before the start of negotiations for a technological transaction, a confidentiality agreement (Confidentiality Agreement or Non-Disclosure Agreement known as NDA) will be signed. In the world of technology and high-tech, the NDA is considered "routine" and often does not receive proper treatment. A company's main asset does not receive the protection that the NDA is intended to provide, and legally these situations may be worse than when the technology and / or IP are not protected at all.

​

Licensing agreements

A confidentiality agreement (NDA) is usually limited to the pre-transaction stage and its terms are not relevant when the transaction itself includes rights of use. Therefore, a transaction in technology / IP should include a license, which will regulate countless parameters, such as the license period, its scope (territory? Industry?), The purpose of using IP (only support? Maybe also development !?) and many others.
