OpenAI asks US judge to dismiss Apple’s trade secrets case
Apple sued OpenAI in July, accusing it of systematically acquiring and exploiting confidential information through former employees, recruitment practices and supplier relationships to accelerate its expansion into consumer hardware.
On Wednesday, OpenAI requested a US judge to dismiss Apple's lawsuit alleging the theft of Apple's trade secrets by OpenAI and two former Apple employees. In the motion to dismiss, OpenAI's legal team argued that the company had no need, interest, or desire for Apple's trade secrets. They stated that OpenAI is developing a distinct and separate product from Apple's offerings.
OpenAI's lawyers emphasized that the company is actively seeking top talent, including engineers, inventors, developers, and creators, who have recently transitioned from Apple to join their ranks, enticed by the innovative work at OpenAI. Earlier in July, Apple had initiated legal proceedings against OpenAI, claiming that the latter had orchestrated a systematic attempt to acquire and exploit Apple's confidential information through former employees, recruitment strategies, and supplier connections to expedite its entry into the consumer hardware sector.
