Apple applies for a preliminary injunction to block OpenAI and two former employees from trade secrets. Apple takes the war to court

Apple applied for a preliminary injunction to block OpenAI and two former employees from trade secrets. Apple took the war to court. According to Gelonghui news on August 4, Apple has submitted a preliminary injunction application to a U.S. judge, requesting the court to directly prohibit two former employees and OpenAI from accessing, obtaining, using or disclosing so-called confidential information. At the same time, this trade secret lawsuit continues to advance. The trigger came last month: Apple formally sued OpenAI and two former employees who now work at OpenAI, accusing them of misappropriating Apple’s trade secrets in order to help OpenAI enter the consumer hardware field. This complaint brought the tension between the two companies that had only been surging under the water to the surface, and the confrontation suddenly escalated. Applying for a preliminary injunction now means that Apple does not want to wait for the long court trial to end, so it must first legally tie the other party's hands and feet - before the lawsuit is resolved, it must first weld the door that may leak secrets. via AI News (author: AI Base)
