In addition to the definition of confidential information, any information created in any format (such as but not limited to handout materials, PowerPoint presentations, videos, graphics, CDs, and DVDs) by an employee of the CMES is considered proprietary. Such proprietary information belongs to the CMES and will remain solely the property of the CMES beyond the term of any individual’s employment.
Improper use, disclosure of trade secrets, or confidential business information will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including legal action.
