In the university technology transfer sector today, as in many other business sectors whose focus is technology exploitation, it is difficult to avoid coming across confidentiality agreements, also known as non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) or confidential disclosure agreements (CDAs).

- to consider and discuss some underlying issues which are problematic or of particular concernfor universities.
