Apple challenges OpenAI’s forensic analysis in trade secrets case, seeks access to hardware R&D

Apple has asked the court overseeing its lawsuit against OpenAI and other defendants to let its own experts review forensic images used in the case, while also seeking documents related to parts of OpenAI’s hardware R&D. Here are the details. In early July, Apple sued former employees, OpenAI, and io Products, accusing them of trade secret misappropriation. The lawsuit involves former Apple employees who allegedly took confidential information with them when they left the company. Apple also alleges that former employee Chang Liu coached another Apple employee on materials to review ahead of an OpenAI interview, while Tang Tan directed Apple job candidates to bring hardware components and other materials to interviews.
