Judge Grants Apple Wider Discovery In OpenAI Trade Secrets Case

Picture: The Mac Observer

A federal judge has given Apple much broader access to early evidence in its ongoing trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI and former staff members. This October 27 decision builds on a previous order, allowing the iPhone maker to look deeper into whether any confidential information was improperly shared or destroyed. The dispute centers heavily on a new consumer hardware project. The initial ruling on October 13 gave limited access to hiring files. Now, the judge has opened things up more. The new order requires OpenAI and the former staff to provide clear details regarding specific hardware projects and any potentially destroyed data.
