Apple has asked a U.S. judge for a preliminary injunction that would bar two former employees and OpenAI from accessing, obtaining, using, or disclosing what the company describes as confidential information, according to Jin10 as cited by ChainCatcher. The filing comes as Apple continues to pursue its trade secrets case. Apple sued OpenAI last month, along with two former Apple employees who now work at OpenAI. In that lawsuit, Apple accused them of misappropriating Apple trade secrets. The company claims the alleged conduct was intended to help OpenAI expand into the consumer hardware sector. The latest request focuses on temporary court relief while the broader trade secrets litigation moves forward. No additional details on the alleged confidential information were disclosed in the source text.
