Common use of RCW Clause in Contracts

RCW. Any specific information that is claimed by the Contractor to be Proprietary Information must be clearly identified as such by the Contractor. “Proprietary Information” means information owned by the Contractor to which the Contractor claims a protectable interest under law. Proprietary Information includes, but is not limited to, information protected by copyright, patent, trademark, or trade secret laws. To the extent consistent with Chapter 42.56 RCW, DSHS will maintain the confidentiality of all such information marked Proprietary Information. If a public disclosure request is made to view the Contractor’s Proprietary Information, DSHS will notify the Contractor of the request and of the date that such records will be released to the requester unless the Contractor obtains a court order from a court of competent jurisdiction enjoining that disclosure. If the Contractor fails to obtain the court order enjoining disclosure, DSHS will release the requested information on the date specified.
