It might be useful to look at what some people in the legal business say
about these disclaimers:

Here's what these lawyers have to say:

"Don’t go overboard and mark everything in sight confidential. If
virtually everything, including public information, is marked
“confidential,” a court may conclude that nothing was really
confidential. It is better not to mark anything than to mark
everything."
