The technology is purportedly unique in its elimination of sand and particle intrusion during greaseless and service-less fracking operations, resulting in lower-cost, safer fracking operations. The defendants were given 10 days to produce their computers, laptops and cell phones to a forensic expert who will “search for and delete such confidential, proprietary and trade secret information,” under the terms of the court's order.See attached file. ...
