Apple Seeks Preliminary Injunction to Block OpenAI and Former Staff from Confidential Data

Apple files for emergency court order to stop OpenAI and two ex-employees from using alleged trade secrets, escalating legal battle over hardware market entry.

Woofun AI reports that Apple has petitioned a U.S. judge for a preliminary injunction to bar OpenAI and two former employees from accessing, using, or disclosing confidential information. This legal maneuver accompanies an ongoing lawsuit filed last month, in which Apple accused the AI firm and the ex-staff of misappropriating trade secrets to facilitate OpenAI’s entry into the consumer hardware sector.
