Curadev Pharma Pvt. Ltd. v. Univ. of Tex. Sw. Med. Ctr.
- Whether the State may avoid its duty under Article I, Section 17 of the Texas Constitution to pay compensation for taking and destroying a non-party's trade secrets by pointing to a research contract it had with a third party, under the "color of contract" rule.
- Whether the court of appeals wrongly defined the alleged taking as the State's initial access to the property under the contract rather than its later use and public disclosure of the trade secrets beyond that access, and whether its approach revives the "subjective belief" test rejected in Texas Department of Transportation v. Self.
