The wildest allegations in Apple’s trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI
Apple filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that the AI company systematically misappropriated confidential information from former Apple employees, including access to network storage and the use of Apple’s trade secrets in its hardware development. The complaint claims OpenAI’s misconduct is part of a broader culture of illegal trade secret theft, with Apple arguing that leadership at OpenAI has normalized such behavior. Apple alleges that OpenAI used confidential information to approach suppliers and that former employees were instructed to bring Apple-related artifacts to interviews, leading to the exploitation of trade secrets.
