| Oct 29 at 16:32 | comment | added | Relaxed | @nvoigt But if the situation even comes up it's because they have access to the blueprints in the first place. If they didn't need them, you wouldn't have granted this access and the whole discussion is moot. Surely someone who hacked your system or stole blueprints wouldn't sign a NDA either. Once you learn that they intend to misuse the information, you might of course revoke this access but I don't see where this notion of either having or not having a “legal right” to the information comes from or how it helps analyzing the situation. | |

| Oct 29 at 16:26 | comment | added | nvoigt | @Relaxed It means it isn't their information to begin with. For example if someone says "I will leak the blueprints of the latest company product", they have no legal right to see the blueprints and you will certainly as a first step revoke their access to those blueprints. That doesn't help if they have already copied them or can draw them from memory, but a judge might be wary if someone threatens you with something and you don't take the easiest, most common sense preventive action. | |
| Oct 29 at 16:17 | comment | added | Relaxed | @nvoigt What is “no legal right to the information” supposed to mean? NDA are mostly about things the person already knows or will in fact need to know and be authorized to learn (or access, as the case may be) for other reasons like doing their job. | |

| Oct 28 at 12:57 | comment | added | nvoigt | Given that the employee has no legal right to the information, the obvious reaction would be to cancel all their data access privileges. If they cannot work without those privileges, the employment might be terminated. But that is not legal action, that is common sense. | |
