09. Intellectual Property & Confidentiality

36. Can you keep my product ideas and business information confidential?

Confidentiality requirements can be discussed before sharing sensitive project information. If needed, the parties can consider a written confidentiality agreement covering the information and obligations agreed upon.

Ownership depends on the formula’s origin, development arrangements, intellectual property rights, and contractual terms. Ownership, licensing, and usage rights should be clearly agreed upon in writing before development begins.
