Common use of Confidentiality Publications Clause in Contracts

Confidentiality Publications. RECIPIENT agrees to treat in confidence, for a period of three (3) years from the date of its disclosure, any of BEI Resources’ or CONTRIBUTOR’s written information about MATERIAL that is stamped “CONFIDENTIAL” except for information that was previously known to RECIPIENT or that is or becomes publicly available or which is disclosed to RECIPIENT without a confidentiality obligation. Any oral disclosures from BEI RESOURCES or CONTRIBUTOR shall be identified as confidential by notice delivered to RECIPIENT within ten (10) days after the date of oral disclosure. RECIPIENT may publish or otherwise publicly disclose the results of the work with MATERIAL, but if RECIPIENT received confidential information from BEI Resources or CONTRIBUTOR, then only after the source of the confidential information has had thirty (30) days to review the proposed disclosure to determine whether it includes any CONFIDENTIAL information, except when a shortened time period under court order of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.§ 552, pertains. RECIPIENT agrees to provide a copy of all publications relating to MATERIAL or MODIFICATIONS to ATCC for deposit into BEI Resources. In all publications and patent applications that reference MATERIAL or MODIFICATIONS, RECIPIENT agrees to acknowledge BEI Resources and the BEI Resources catalog numbers if applicable, and any CONTRIBUTOR indicated through BEI Resources as the source of ORIGINAL MATERIAL. RECIPIENT agrees that ATCC may inform CONTRIBUTOR of RECIPIENT’S identity if required to do so by law, by CONTRIBUTOR, or if MATERIAL is subject to an issued patent.
