Apple seeks preliminary injunction against OpenAI in trade secrets case
Apple requested a U.S. judge for a preliminary injunction to prevent two former employees and OpenAI from using its alleged trade secrets as part of an ongoing lawsuit. The iPhone maker claims the former employees misappropriated confidential information to aid OpenAI's expansion into consumer hardware, intensifying tensions between the companies. OpenAI denied the allegations, asserting it neither possesses nor seeks Apple's trade secrets, while the case could influence the future of AI devices that diverge from traditional operating systems.
