Confidential/Proprietary Trade Secret Information. (i) Grantee agrees to keep secret and confidential all Confidential/Proprietary Trade Secret Information (further described below) acquired by Grantee while employed by the Company or concerning the business and affairs of the Company, its vendors, its customers, and its affiliates (whether of a business, commercial or technological nature), and further agrees that Grantee will not disclose any such Confidential/Proprietary Trade Secret Information so acquired to any individual, partner, company, firm, corporation or other person or use the same in any manner other than in connection with the business and affairs of the Company and its affiliates. Except in the performance of services for the Company, the Grantee will not, for so long as the Confidential/Proprietary Trade Secret Information remains so designated under applicable law, use, disclose, reproduce, distribute, transmit, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or transfer the Confidential/Proprietary Trade Secret Information or any portion thereof.
Confidential/Proprietary Trade Secret Information. 3.1. UMF and RECIPIENT have developed confidential and proprietary information and materials relating to each of its businesses, including, but not limited to, technical know-how, procedures, specifications, formulations, ingredients, compositions of matter, inventions, ideas (whether or not patented), trade secrets, results of testing, protocols, processes, methods, compilations of data, strategic plans, sales and marketing plans, customer information, supplier information, financial information, and proposed agreements (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information may be communicated in any medium, including written, oral, electronic, and through visual inspection and observation. For the avoidance of doubt, the existence and the terms of this Agreement and the fact the Parties are engaging in confidential discussions shall be deemed Confidential Information belonging to each Party.
Confidential/Proprietary Trade Secret Information. You agree that you will not use or share any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information about any aspect of P&G’s business with any non-P&G employee or business entity at any time in the future. You further agree that you will not obtain or have in your possession any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information on or after your last day of employment. Confidential, proprietary or trade secret information includes, but is not limited to, marketing and advertising plans, pricing information, upstream plans, specific areas of research and development, project work, product formulation, processing methods, assignments of individual employees, testing and evaluation procedures, cost figures, construction plans, and special techniques or methods of any kind.For the purposes of this section, it shall be conclusively presumed that you have knowledge or information to which you were directly exposed through the actual receipt of memos or documents containing such information or through actual attendance at meetings at which such information was discussed or disclosed. The provisions of this section are not in lieu of, but are in addition to, your continuing obligation to not use or disclose P&G’s trade secrets and confidential information known to you until any particular trade secret or confidential information becomes generally known (through no fault of yours). Information regarding products in development, in test market or being marketed or promoted in a discrete geographic region, which information P&G is considering for a broader use, shall not be deemed generally known until such broader use is actually commercially implemented. Also, “generally known” means known throughout the domestic United States industry or, if you have job responsibilities outside of the United States, the appropriate foreign country or countries’ industry.If any restriction in this section is found by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it will be modified and interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area so that it may be enforceable.
