Comments
Need to ensure definition of "Project Omega" aligns precisely with internal documentation and scope defined in SOW Addendum 3. Cross-reference potential IP implications, especially regarding prior art considerations under 35 U.S.C. ยง 102.
Does "reasonably should be understood" standard meet GDPR/CCPA requirements if PII is inadvertently included? Recommend adding explicit carve-out or stricter handling protocol for regulated data categories. Also consider data residency implications.
"Reasonable precautions" is ambiguous. Suggest benchmark against industry best practices (e.g., ISO 27001 controls relevant to data handling). Should we require specific technical safeguards like encryption at rest and in transit? Potential liability exposure if breach occurs.
Five years sufficient? Consider perpetual obligation for trade secrets under DTSA. Need analysis of information lifecycle and residual value post-term. Impact on long-term strategic valuation?
Standard clause, but check venue selection implications. Does Delaware forum unduly burden Receiving Party? Consider arbitration clause as alternative dispute resolution mechanism to mitigate litigation costs and ensure confidentiality of proceedings. Review recent case law on enforceability of injunctive relief for information disclosure.
