In RAA Management, LLC v. Savage Sports Holdings, Inc. (decided May 18, 2012; copy here), the Delaware Supreme Court held that no-reliance language included in a confidentiality agreement can serve to defeat claims for fraud brought by the recipient of confidential information. For more on this, go here for Francis Pileggi’s analysis and go here for Weil Gotshal’s analysis.
I’m happy to say that this opinion didn’t cause me to leap into action and revise Koncision’s confidentiality-agreement template—it already includes the necessary language. For more about that, see this January 2012 blog post.
