What happens if someone breaks a non-disclosure agreement (NDA)?

Some of the basic things which can be done in case of a Non-Disclosure Agreement Violation are:-

Review the original document. In most of the contracts of non-disclosure, the remedies for a breach of contract are written right into the contract itself.

Investigate the theft or breach. Sometimes, this can be the most difficult step in pursuing a breach of NDA contract case. You know the information is out, but you'll need concrete evidence explaining how the information got out. Getting the right information is crucial. If you're not able to prove your case, you might be responsible for any legal fees racked up by both parties under provisions in the NDA document.

When collecting information, consider looking for the means of misappropriation (how the secret got out), how the confidential knowledge has been used and the economic value of the information. Sometimes it's hard to put a dollar sign on facts, but it needs to be considered, especially if you think you're eligible for any damages.

Determine what legal claim needs to be made. In almost all cases involving a broken nondisclosure agreement, you'll be able to pursue damages stemming from a breach of contract. Other legal recourse's might include misappropriation of trade secrets, copyright infringement, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, trespass and patent infringement.

NDAs are an almost surefire way to confirm that confidential information stays protected in a variety of situations. It's important to be aware how these legal agreements work before signing or creating a document, as being well-informed can help you make the best legal decisions now and down the road.
