Are discussions with Navy personnel kept confidential so that my competitor cannot learn of company secrets and/ or new product development, particularly under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)?
Navy personnel will not reveal any company proprietary information and, to the extent permitted by law, will protect any proprietary information developed under the agreement. Proprietary information developed under CRADAs may be protected from release under the FOIA for as long as it meets the definition of proprietary information as provided in the CRADA agreement. This protection is authorized by a provision of the Technology Innovation Act.
