This note aims to provide an overview of Non-Disclosure Agreements and Confidentiality clauses contrasting Indian law with key issues under English law. It examines the doctrinal framework protecting confidential information, which is a “patchwork of remedies” derived from contract law, intellectual property law, and common law. It defines and distinguishes the different forms of obligations to protect confidential information, outlines the remedies for breach and sets out some practical drafting considerations that are peculiar to the considerations of business parties in NDAs.
