These provisions protect intellectual property by prohibiting analysis and recreation of proprietary technology. 📍Key considerations: -Enforceability varies by jurisdiction -Some courts may view blanket prohibitions as too restrictive -Certain jurisdictions allow reverse engineering for interoperability -EU considers reverse engineering for interoperability a non-waivable right 📍Drafting tips: -Define specific prohibited activities -Outline allowed circumstances -Consider time limitations -Tailor to local laws The Ola case may set precedents for interpreting these clauses in India. Tech companies must carefully craft agreements to protect IP while ensuring enforceability.
