Ethical Dilemma III – Proprietary or Confidential Information
Proprietary or confidential information goes beyond patents, copyrights or trade secrets. It includes the business, financial, marketing and service plans associated with products; designs, engineering and manufacturing know-how and processes; the company business and product plans with outside suppliers and customers; manufacturing performance data; product test results; a variety of internal databases; and personnel and salary information.
