各位朋友，一个美国客户对我们的一个新研发的产品很感兴趣，在商量合作事宜。他发来了一个保密协议，但我们不太理解此协议的目的，不知是否会对我们公司的利益造成影响。请各位给点意见，谢谢！Confidential disclosure agreement
This Confidential Disclosure Agreement is entered into by and between TWC CORPORATION (Paul owner who, along with its agents, employees and associates, are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”), and ________________________________________________ of ____________________________________________ (“Recipient”).
WHEREAS, the Company has the rights to manufacture and distribute an innovative device currently known as the “SUPER SPARK PLUG” (Patent #5,731 Other Patent’s pending), and referred to herein as the “Invention”; and Company has developed an innovative business plan for a number of affiliated supporting business enterprises relating to the Invention, all of which will be instituted and operated by Company; and
WHEREAS, Company’s ideas, designs, plans, drawings and techniques are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Technology”; and
WHEREAS, Company wishes to be able to freely discuss the Technology with the Recipient;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and understandings of the parties hereto, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. Company has provided and/or will provide Recipient with information, materials, designs, techniques and drawings (collectively, “Information”), so that Company may discuss the possibility of the Recipient and/or the Recipient’s business participating in the sale, manufacture and/or distribution of the Company’s Technology. In order to explore this possibility, Company will necessarily disclose to Recipient confidential information relating to the Technology and the Company’s plans for the related products and services.
2. All related direct or non-direct technical and non-technical Information disclosed by or on behalf of Company to Recipient relating in any way to the Technology or any related businesses, products or services, constitutes confidential, proprietary and secret property of Company. The Recipient, on behalf of it and its agents, associates, affiliates and subsidiaries agrees to take such precautions as may be necessary to maintain such Information to any third person, entity, forum or organization anywhere in the world, without the prior written consent of Company.
3. This requirement of confidentiality shall not apply to any lawful use of information already in the possession of Recipient, as evidenced by prior written records, or to any information subsequently and lawfully disclosed to Recipient by a party other than the Company, or its representatives, licensees, agents or employees, and shall not apply to information that becomes generally obtainable to the public other than by any act or omission of the Recipient.
4. Regardless of whether Recipient enters into any agreement with, participates in any manner relating to Company’s Technology, neither the Recipient nor any of its respective businesses, employees, agents or affiliates will use the Information disclosed pursuant to this Agreement for any purpose unless expressly authorized to do so in writing by Company. At the Company’s request, material supplied to Recipient or in Recipient’s possession, relating in any way to the Technology. This Agreement intends that the prohibition against “use” by Recipient be construed as broadly as possible. Accordingly, Recipient’s agreement not to use the Technology or any aspect thereof, includes, but is not limited to, any use on Recipient’s own behalf or helping to raise or provide funds for, or receiving consideration or any direct or indirect benefit from, any individual or entity that makes any use of the Technology.
5. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. If any provision in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce this Agreement or its terms or conditions, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party or parties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the Parties and may not be released, discharged, changed or modified except by an instrument in writing duly signed by both Parties. The Parties have read the entire Agreement and agree to the terms and conditions contained herein.

如果是你们公司研发的，这个协议就太苛刻了，不签。
如果只是OEM，客户完全提供information, materials, designs, techniques and drawings，应该可以签的。不能向第三方泄露，不得将产品卖给其他客户什么的，出现纠纷适用美国加州法律。

谢谢！ 这个产品是我们自主研发的，感觉这个协议对我们不利。

很咬文嚼字的，这个真不好说。。。

找律师行把，他们肯定有懂国外的法律的人的。出点钱请教下

你们是Recipient?Invention是你们的？Technology是他们的？应该说你们的invention的价值远大于他们所谓的Technology，他们却就仅为保护他们的Technology与你们签这样的协议，比较过分，你们的知识产权、Technology有没有协议保护？建议双方签订一份旨在保护双方而不是单方面的知识产权、商业秘密的中英文协议。

耐心看完了，人家说的是对人家提供给你们的技术，发明，等信息保密，不得用于谋利，但不适用于你们现有合法以及众所周知的技术资料，只要能分清哪些是你们现有的，哪些是客户提供的就行了。
纯属个人意见，FYI
