Confidentiality gaps and assignment inconsistencies surfaced before they become misappropriation claims
The challenge
Gaps in confidentiality coverage, invention assignments, and employee obligation documentation are easy to miss in manual review. Without a systematic approach, companies can be left exposed to misappropriation claims before the risk is even visible.
The solution
Ask iManage identifies inconsistencies across NDAs, IP assignments, and access records, and maps confidentiality obligations to specific individuals, roles, and vendors. This broadens and deepens risk identification without a manual document-by-document review.
Open Ask iManage and add a Folder of documents as a Filter.
Instantly scope to only the documents which matter, keeping your responses and citations relevant.
Craft a prompt to further narrow your dataset based on potential trade secret risk.
Ask iManage highlights areas where you should focus your review and helps to exclude irrelevant documents from your workload.
Copy this prompt
Are there any inconsistencies or gaps in the confidentiality, invention assignment, or non-compete agreements across the document set that could undermine trade secret protection or expose the company to a misappropriation claim?
Use a Guided Action (e.g. Overview) against a specific document to further understand identified risk.
Ask follow-up prompts that identify and map confidentiality obligation to specific individuals, roles, or third parties.
Ask iManage makes it easy to continue your workflow by asking more questions about your documents that lead to actionable next steps.
Copy this prompt
Map each confidentiality and non-use obligation in these documents to the employee, contractor, or vendor responsible, and flag any where the obligation has expired or may be unenforceable.
