OpenAI has responded to Apple's recent lawsuit, addressing multiple allegations in a blog post published on Monday. The lawsuit, filed last month, accuses OpenAI of intellectual property theft, specifically claiming that former Apple engineer Chang Liu took sensitive product information and numerous internal files while working on a line of AI-powered devices competing with the iPhone.
OpenAI disputes these claims, noting that the iPhone maker "now tries to shift the blame to 'residual access,'" a term describing accidental access permissions. The company also refutes claims by Apple that Tang Tan, a former Apple vice president, brought internal component prototypes to job interviews, questioning Tan's 24-year tenure at Apple as an innovative leader.
Moreover, OpenAI objected to Apple's allegation that it reached out to OpenAI for a response before filing suit. Apple has since acknowledged the mix-up, sending a new motion to the court seeking a preliminary injunction to prevent OpenAI from accessing, using, or disclosing intellectual property. The lawsuit also seeks an expedited discovery process.
