K & G Oil Tool & Service Co., Inc., Petitioners v. G & G Fishing Tool Service, Respondents

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's judgment, holding that the magnetic fishing tool was protectable as a trade secret, that an injunction may extend beyond the patent issuance date, and that the money judgment against C.P. Buckler should be vacated. The Court also noted that the Court of Civil Appeals erred in its analysis of trade secret protection and injunction scope.
