In the article, “10 Tips Lawyers Want You to Know Before You Hand Over Your Next Confidentiality Agreement,” featured in All Tops Startups, a handful of lawyers experienced with Confidentiality Agreements share their best tips and insights for you to mull over for the next time you hand one over.

Mitch Baker shared this well-known saying in intellectual property law to convey the importance of being specific when drafting Confidentiality Agreements.

Keep in mind that, “if you haven’t treated it as confidential, the court won’t require your former employees to do so.”
