An Invention Disclosure Agreement is essential when inventors, companies, or research institutions need to share confidential information about new inventions with potential partners, investors, or evaluators. This document, structured under Belgian law, provides crucial protection for intellectual property rights during the disclosure process. It becomes particularly important in the early stages of invention development, before patent applications are filed, or when seeking commercial partnerships. The agreement ensures compliance with Belgian intellectual property laws, including the Code of Economic Law Book XI and the Belgian Act on Trade Secrets, while establishing clear confidentiality obligations and usage limitations for the receiving parties.
