The technologies in CRI-ONE’s portfolio didn’t appear overnight. They are the result of years of original research \u2014 breakthroughs in energy, materials science, health, communications, and manufacturing that exist nowhere else. When something is truly one-of-a-kind, protecting it isn’t just good business practice. It’s essential.<\/p>\n
From the moment you move beyond the Proof of Function stage, you’re entering territory that involves trade secrets. The mathematical depositions and evaluation materials you receive contain proprietary information that represents some of the most ambitious scientific and engineering work being done today. Protecting that information isn’t optional \u2014 it’s what makes the entire process work.<\/p>\n
Depositions and evaluation licenses require an executed mutual NDA before any material changes hands.<\/p>\n
Before you receive any deposition or evaluation material, both parties sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement. “Mutual” means it works both ways \u2014 we protect your confidential business information just as you protect ours. This creates a foundation of trust that allows us to share material of extraordinary value, and allows you to evaluate it without reservation.<\/p>\n
Under the NDA, you agree to:<\/p>\n
Confidentiality isn’t just about protecting CRI-ONE. It protects you too. If you’re evaluating a technology that could give your company a generational advantage, the last thing you want is for a competitor to access the same information through a leak. The NDA ensures that the playing field stays level and that the material you’re evaluating retains its full, extraordinary value.<\/p>\n
It also means that when you do move to full acquisition, you’re acquiring something pristine \u2014 trade secrets that haven’t been diluted by unauthorized disclosure. What you’re buying is intact, protected, and exclusively yours.<\/p>\n
All sales are final. These are trade secrets, and once the material has been delivered under NDA, the transaction is complete.<\/p>\n
We take our NDAs seriously because what’s behind them is worth protecting. The information in our depositions and evaluation materials represents genuine breakthroughs \u2014 the kind of work that doesn’t come along twice. Respecting the confidentiality of that information is what makes the entire staging process \u2014 and ultimately, the transfer of world-changing technology \u2014 possible.<\/p>\n
