Prompt: Using your favorite browser, search for a definition of proprietary information and then search for how it is used in interior design. Find two sources that discuss that term. In your discussion board post, explain your position on proprietary information in interior design. Do you or do you not feel that it is important? Be sure to provide two good reasons for your position. Since there are no right or wrong answers here, make your reasons count! Also, be sure to provide the sources of your information.

Proprietary information also known as a trade secret is information a company wishes to keep confidential. This can include recipes, processes and methods used in production. My position on proprietary information in interior design is I support it. This is because a lot of the time interior designers make custom made products or antique for which a duplicate does not exist anymore. Another reason why I support proprietary information is if the interior designer supplied the client with the clients and someone has a bad experience with the vendor, that can reflect poorly on the interior designers.

In conclusion, I support proprietary information because it discloses certain information that the client/customer does not need to know and protects the Vendors from any liability / mismatched expectations.
