Apple Files Trade Secrets Lawsuit Against OpenAI, Seeks Injunction on Hardware Use
Apple has filed a trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI, its hardware subsidiary io Products, and two former Apple employees, alleging misappropriation of confidential information. Apple seeks a preliminary injunction to prevent OpenAI from using this information in its hardware development while the case proceeds. OpenAI has moved to dismiss the lawsuit, denying the allegations and claiming it does not rely on Apple's trade secrets. The court will consider both motions in October.
