Kalshi2026-09-03 09:30:33Michigan judge issues preliminary injunction against Kalshi over sports betting contractsA judge in Ingham County, Michigan, has issued a preliminary injunction against prediction market platform Kalshi, ordering it to stop offering sports-betting-related contracts to state residents, according to Decrypt. Judge Rosemarie Aquilina said the business amounted to sports betting “disguised as an investment opportunity.” Under the order, Kalshi must block in-state users through a third-party geolocation service approved by Michigan’s betting regulator or face a $500,000 daily fine. The injunction also bars the company from allowing Michigan residents to open accounts, make deposits, place ads, or use products that resemble sports betting until a final ruling is reached.970

OpenAI2026-08-06 09:04:25OpenAI asks court to dismiss Apple trade secrets suit over hardware project claimsOpenAI has asked a U.S. federal court in California to throw out Apple’s trade secrets lawsuit, calling the allegations baseless and arguing that Apple is mischaracterizing ordinary recruiting and offboarding activity as theft of confidential hardware information. The filing marks OpenAI’s first formal response to the case, which Apple brought in July. Apple alleges that OpenAI obtained secret hardware project materials through current and former Apple employees as OpenAI advances its own AI hardware plans. OpenAI says Apple failed to identify what specific trade secrets were stolen, relied on selectively quoted communications, and distorted how departing employees handled work transitions. It also argues that some supplier-related information cited in the complaint was available through lawful or public channels. The dispute comes as the relationship between the two companies has shifted from partnership to litigation. They had worked together for about two years to bring ChatGPT-based features to iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices, but tensions rose as OpenAI moved deeper into hardware, including its $6.4 billion acquisition of Jony Ive’s io Products studio. Apple has also sought a temporary restraining order. OpenAI must respond to Apple’s preliminary injunction request by Aug. 17, and a hearing is scheduled for Oct. 1.2170
Apple2026-08-04 06:03:45Apple seeks injunction to block OpenAI and former staff from accessing disputed confidential informationApple 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.2090
