OpenAI renews push to get Apple’s trade secret theft lawsuit tossed
Chang Liu, Tang Tan, OpenAI, and io Products filed a new petition asking the court to dismiss Apple’s trade secret misappropriation complaint with prejudice. Here’s what that means.
OpenAI has renewed its efforts to have a trade secret theft lawsuit filed by Apple dismissed. The lawsuit, which includes OpenAI and io Products, accuses two former employees, Chang Liu and Tang Tan, of misappropriating Apple's trade secrets. Apple also seeks a preliminary injunction to prevent OpenAI and the defendants from accessing or using Apple's alleged proprietary information.
OpenAI and the other defendants argue that Apple failed to clearly identify protectable trade secrets, provide plausible evidence of misappropriation, and prove resulting injury or harm. OpenAI filed a new brief reaffirming its arguments and asking the court to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, effectively preventing Apple from re-filing the same claims. The court is scheduled to hear the motion on October 1.
