Joe, Most standard NDA's specify that any proprietary material provided to you by the company must be labled "proprietary" or they must notify you in writing that the documents are proprietary. Sample wording : As used herein, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all information provided by the Disclosing Party to the Recipient in the form of the following: a) all technical and non-technical information including, without limitation, patent, trade secret and proprietary information, techniques, sketches, drawings, models, inventions, know-how, processes, apparatus, equipment, algorithms, software programs, software source documents and formulae, any and all of which relate to the past, present, future or proposed products and services of the Parties, and including, without limitation, information concerning research, experimental and development work, design details, specifications and engineering information, financial information, customer lists, business forecasts, sales and marketing plans, and all such other information which may be revealed to one Party by the other for the purpose(s) described in this Agreement, and which has been supplied in any form (whether print, hard copy, electronic, or otherwise) by the Disclosing Party to the Recipient and designated in writing, or orally and confirmed in writing, by the Disclosing Party as “Confidential,” “Restricted,” “Secret,” or other similar term; or b) tangible information, including all reproductions thereof, supplied in any form (whether print, hard copy, electronic, or otherwise) which has been disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Recipient and marked as “Confidential,” “Restricted,” “Secret,” or other similar term; or c) information which is disclosed orally and confirmed in writing as “Confidential,” “Restricted,” “Secret,” or other similar term; or d) information which is observed by the Recipient during a visit to the Disclosing Party’s facility an which is identified or designated as being confidential and confirmed in writing as “Confidential,” “Restricted,” “Secret,” or other similar term. The key here is that the company must always tell you what is proprietary. I've read quite a few of these, and the labeling of the information is always included.
