Re: When are NDAs not binding? Was, RE: STC Certification - What Does It Really Mean

[Steve Schwarzman <steve -at- writersbookmall -dot- com>]

The NDAs I've seen generally say that the nondisclosure requirement
survives the rest of the agreement, e.g. even after you stop working there.
If the product/document is really out in the public arena or outdated, I
would still ask for permission from the company in writing before any
disclosure.

It's true that NDA language typically does not demand nondisclosure of
otherwise public documents. But the burden of proof would, I think, be upon
you that a given document is now public. Go ahead; make the company's
lawyers' day. :)

Not.
