Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: material (hier)
In einem Vertrag zur Zusammearbeit steht folgende Passage zum Thema Begriffsklärung:

"Confidential and/or Proprietary Information” means any information of confidential nature or material or any proprietary information on the Product or on the Machines, disclosed by or on behalf of One Party to the Other Party in any form including, without limitation, oral and written form, software stored and samples provided.

Ich kann leider "or material" nicht richtig einordnen. Bezieht sich das noch auf "confidential" (-> confidential material???). Wer kann mir auf die Sprünge helfen?

agree  Jonathan MacKerron: on second thought this is more probable as the text does not specifically mention documents until later

  -> Is that an agree or a disagree? // Thanks for clarifying. I still hold to my interpretation, but it is good to have feedback (even "disagree").
