In order to facilitate discussions regarding product development and the formation of business relationships, it is common practice to enter into a confidentiality agreement so that sharing new knowledge and original work is less risky. Where there is little or no trust between two parties, the confidentiality agreement acts as a comfort blanket, although it will not provide absolute protection. The degree of protection it does afford will largely depend on how it is drafted.
