513	66	XV. Property owner rule error	Court erroneously allowed Pohl to testify on trade secret value under property owner rule (Tex. R. Evid. 701). Rule does not extend to technical/specialized matters (Jatex Oil v. Nadel). Trade secret valuation is specialized (Arkoma Basin). Pohl only designated to opine on 'reasonable value at time of conversion/misappropriation' — intrinsic value, not market value. Pohl's deposition: claimed 'intrinsic value of stolen property' worth $250,000 to $6 million. Property owner testimony must be market value, not intrinsic/speculative (Accurate Precision Plating).
