OpenAI Counters Apple Trade-Secret Lawsuit With Former Engineer’s Chat Logs

First seen · 8/4/2026, 06:22 PMLatest activity · 8/4/2026, 06:22 PM

According to The Decoder, OpenAI has responded to Apple’s trade-secret lawsuit by releasing iMessage threads involving former Apple engineer Chang Liu. The excerpts reportedly show Apple employees contacting Liu after his departure to request technical help and internal files. OpenAI appears to use these exchanges to challenge Apple’s characterization of Liu’s conduct and its handling of confidential information. However, the supplied article summary does not establish the complete context, authenticity, admissibility, or legal significance of the messages, and no underlying court filing was provided for independent review.
