OpenAI vs. Apple: Trade Secret Dispute Heats Up

OpenAI is publicly disputing Apple's lawsuit, calling it "careless, aggressive and oddly personal." This comes after Apple alleged that trade secrets went to OpenAI with two former employees. OpenAI's blog post, titled "Apple is getting this wrong," argues that Apple's claims are based on false information. For example, OpenAI says Apple contacted the wrong person in February and wrongly claimed to speak with OpenAI's General Counsel. OpenAI defends the two former employees, Chang Liu and Tang Tan. It claims Apple failed to manage system access for Liu and that Tan has always been clear about not using confidential information from other companies. OpenAI believes the injunction is unnecessary as it doesn't want Apple's trade secrets. OpenAI states it offered to resolve these issues with Apple before the lawsuit. This public response from OpenAI aims to gain public support and pressure Apple.
