OpenAI asks US judge to dismiss Apple’s trade secrets case
OpenAI requested a U.S. judge to dismiss Apple's lawsuit alleging trade-secret theft, asserting it has no need for Apple's confidential information as it is developing a distinct product. Apple's complaint, filed in July, claimed OpenAI exploited trade secrets through former employees and supplier relationships to enhance its consumer hardware ambitions. OpenAI countered that Apple's allegations lack specificity and fail to demonstrate ownership of a protectable trade secret, arguing that the lawsuit is an attempt to compensate for Apple's market challenges in AI integration.
