Habe ich in diesem Artikel gefunden, stimme aber mit Horst überein, dass Wissen über Fehler und Versäumnisse gemeint sind. Weiß nicht, inwiefern hier ein Fachbegriff etabliert ist. Wie fachkundig sind die Unterzeichner der Vertraulichkeitsvereinbarung?

Just a definition
In some cases, confidentiality agreements can even cover "negative know-how." That is, they can prohibit the transfer of information about mistakes the company made while it perfected its technology or project, information many would not normally think of as secret or important. Restricting negative know-how, however, can help insure that a company's competitors will have the opportunity to make the same time-consuming mistakes the company made, and thereby delay the introduction of competitive products.

negatives Know-How
Although the expression only makes one appearance in google, I think its meaning is pretty clearly an "expert knowledge of how things are NOT done", which, if you give it a little thought, is just as valuable in the right context as "positive" or "experimental" know-how... And here it is:
