Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Texas
Confidentiality versus Non-Compete Agreement
I have created a Bank Terminology book which allows English speakers to speak bank words,terms, and phrases to Spanish speakers. I began dialogue with a bank training company which performs training across the country. My goal is for the company to add it to their list of product and services. At the same time, I do not want them to copy the book, the format, etc. I want them to sign an agreement before I mail them a copy of the book. Which type of agreement would be better to obtain, Confidentialiaty or Non-Compete? Thank you for your assistance.

File an application for copyright with the copyright office of the Library of Congress. Then when the copyright is issued, you can have a license prepared where you get royalties per copy, or a flat fee; negotiate the deal.
Re: Confidentiality versus Non-Compete Agreement
It sounds like you need to file a federal copyright application, which is very inexpensive, and do both the non-compete and confidentiality or just make them both into one agreement. Feel free to contact me on this.
