Confidentiality And Intellectual Property


Confidentiality and intellectual property are two of the most important things that employees need to protect in the workplace. Confidential information includes things like trade secrets, customer lists, and other proprietary information. Intellectual property includes things like patents, trademarks, and copyrights. 


Employees need to understand how to protect both types of information from being shared with competitors or anyone else who could benefit from it. The best way to do this is to keep it confidential and only share it with people who need to know. 


This course will help employees understand what confidential and intellectual property are, how to protect them, and what they need to do to be successful in the workplace.
