Apple is seeking a preliminary injunction against OpenAI and two former employees in a trade secrets case. The tech giant claims that confidential information was stolen, specifically related to hardware development. According to the Economic Times Tech, Apple aims to protect its future hardware innovations from competitors.
The lawsuit, filed last month, prompted OpenAI to publish a detailed response, characterising the lawsuit as "careless, aggressive, and oddly personal". OpenAI denies any wrongdoing, stating that they were not properly notified about the issue before the lawsuit. They claim that Apple's lawyers emailed the wrong person and that a discussion with their General Counsel never occurred.
Apple has also filed a motion seeking expedited discovery of relevant documents. The company is seeking to bar OpenAI and the two former employees from accessing, acquiring, using, or disclosing confidential information.
