Technology Licensing

Non-disclosure agreements are no substitute for an export license if a license is required for disclosure of technology to a foreign licensee (or, for that matter, to the non-US person employees of a domestic licensee). Nor, in many circumstances, is it sufficient to contractually obligate a licensee to observe applicable US law, for a licensor violates US law if it discloses controlled technology with reason to know that an export control violation by its licensee will result.

Export Control NE assists technology licensors with determinations of which US agency has jurisdiction; classification of technologies to be licensed; and applications for licenses where required.
