Confidentiality agreements

A confidentiality agreement is frequently required prior to the final selection process. Depending on the process technology, a confidentiality agreement may be required during initial discussions with the toller. Alternately, it may be included in the request for bid or when the final contract is executed. 

A time frame for the confidentiality agreement. If included in a contract, it typically extends beyond the term of the contract. 

A toller may need to use resources outside their company to measure physical properties, conduct safety or other testing, engineer changes to piping or other facilities and equipment. This need frequently occurs for products in the initial development or commercialization stage. The toller should maintain confidentiality agreements with their suppliers and subcontractors commensurate with the proprietary nature of their client companies processes. Provision to allow disclosure of information to third parties should be addressed in the contract between the toller and the client. It may be structured so that the client must approve the toller s release of information to third parties.

This applies to contract personnel as well as employees. How to communicate chemical reactivity hazards is not a trivial matter, especially when contractors are involved. Confidentiality agreements may need to be put into place, and issues may need to be addressed on a case by case basis. Communication with contract personnel and broader outsourced manufacturing issues are addressed by Early (1996) and CCPS (2000).

What is the state of process Raman spectroscopy right now Is it still slowly building Is it a niche market and unlikely to expand Is it thriving and flourishing Since almost all industrial applications will use a commercial instrument, the instrument vendors are the only ones who can really answer these questions but are likely to be bound by confidentiality agreements with their customers. In the absence of publications or other public disclosures, it is useful to examine the factors that may be limiting or appearing to limit the use of Raman spectroscopy for process control. 

It may be that due to the sensitivity of personal data and market-sensitive data some of these items should be held separately from the data room under the control of the legal department and available only to qualified individuals in the counterparty s team, even when a confidentiality agreement is in place. Although the due diligence team will be constrained to silence issues such as remuneration can stimulate comments which can be unhelpful later in a partnership. 

Proprietary information is often transferred between companies after both sign a secrecy or confidentiality agreement. Generally, the agreement defines what information is to be exchanged, limits how long it is to be held confidential (2-10 years is common), prohibits third-party disclosures, and provides exceptions. Common exceptions are if the information transferred is already known or if the information becomes public at a later time. 

Catalyst manufacturers are continually seeking new catalyst markets. Small catalyst samples for testing are generally available at no or moderate cost. Sometimes these require confidentiality agreements as discussed earlier or a nonanalysis agreement. This pledges the recipient of the catalyst not to try to determine the catalyst composition or method of preparation. If catalyst performance in a process is the objective, these restrictions are no problem.
