Apple moves for preliminary injunction in OpenAI trade secrets lawsuit
Apple has filed a request for a preliminary injunction in its ongoing trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI . Without a preliminary injunction, Apple says it will be “irreparably harmed” by the theft of its trade secrets.
Apple has filed a request for a preliminary injunction in its ongoing trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI, stating that without it, the company will be irreparably harmed by the theft of its trade secrets. Apple claims that it sent OpenAI a letter after filing the initial lawsuit, expressing its intent to seek preliminary injunctive relief, but the two parties could not agree on two additional requests.
As a result, Apple is asking the court to issue an injunction to immediately stop OpenAI from using or obtaining any Apple trade secrets, preserve evidence, allow Apple to conduct forensic inspections, and recover any confidential information still in OpenAI's possession. The hearing for the injunction is scheduled for October 1, 2026.
