OpenAI asks the judge to dismiss Apple's lawsuit: the secret theft accusations are groundless. On August 6, according to Bloomberg, OpenAI is asking a U.S. federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Apple, arguing that Apple's accusations of stealing trade secrets are groundless. Apple OpenAI attorneys say Apple's lawsuit mischaracterizes the actions of the company's employees. OpenAI's top hardware executive followed common industry hiring standards when interviewing Apple employees, and the employee accused of stealing trade secrets was actually trying to help a former colleague at Apple. "Apple's complaint was clearly filed without adequate investigation and is based on partial communications taken out of context and ordinary behavior taken out of context. To borrow Apple's own words, this lawsuit 'sucks'. Apple should not be allowed to use a baseless lawsuit filed on false grounds to make up for its shortcomings in the talent market." OpenAI said in a court document filed late Wednesday. Just the day before, Apple asked a judge for an order prohibiting OpenAI from continuing to use what it claimed was stolen trade secrets, and requiring the company to return any confidential information belonging to Apple. If approved, the order would remain in effect while the lawsuit filed by Apple is pending. via cnBeta.COM - Chinese industry information website (author: Source: Phoenix Technology)
