My rule was to ask people who ask for NDA, yes, I will sign it, but, you have to write EXACTLY what ideas are new and never seen before, explain what is protected in very specific terms and how this can't be found elsewhere. If it can, then we don't need NDA.
Most people will send you NDA they found googling online and expect you to honor it and obey, even though they most likely didn't read it.
I agree with author of this article fully and completely.
People who wrote even small business plan usually don't ask for NDA, yet they already have something tangible.
- evincarofautumn 15y agoAn example of the “googling…didn’t read” thing: I once signed an NDA that barred several common means of transmitting information about a project, but made no blanket prohibitions—so walkie-talkies, ham radios, telegraphs, semaphore, Morse transmitted by flashlight, &c. were all perfectly admissible. ;)
