Apple Seeks Injunction in Trade Secrets Lawsuit Against OpenAI; OpenAI Denies Allegations
Apple has sued OpenAI and two former Apple employees, alleging theft of trade secrets to aid OpenAI's consumer hardware efforts. Apple seeks a preliminary injunction to bar access to its confidential information and requests expedited discovery and depositions. OpenAI denies the allegations, stating it neither has nor wants Apple's trade secrets, and disputes Apple's claims by releasing internal emails and messages. The dispute centers on communication errors and differing accounts of interactions before the lawsuit, with OpenAI criticizing Apple's approach as aggressive and lacking prior detailed discussion.
