• Why might appointing one person as a gatekeeper responsible for disseminating information under an NDA backfire?
• What issues are foreign counterparts especially sensitive to in terms of negotiating NDAs?
• Is it preferable to have a disclosure schedule placed in one NDA or to have multiple NDAs, each of which covers one step of the disclosure process?
• Which take longer to negotiate? One-way or two-way NDAs? Which are more susceptible to renegotiation?
• What are the virtues of vagueness in terms of drafting NDAs?
• What are the keys to negotiating "sunset" provisions for NDAs?
• How can confidential information be marked--as required by NDAs--if it is conveyed verbally?
• What types of information are typically excluded from "confidential information" status?
• How do you draft NDAs to account for disclosing information under subpoena or search warrant?
• How should you negotiate allowing / forbidding an affiliate to disclose or receive confidential information?
• How is the issue of requiring individual employees to sign NDAs negotiated?
