OpenAI Calls Apple’s Trade Secrets Lawsuit “Rotten to Its Core” and Seeks Dismissal

OpenAI has asked a federal judge to dismiss Apple’s lawsuit accusing the company of misappropriating trade secrets. In a motion filed in response to Apple’s July complaint, OpenAI calls the allegations meritless and argues that Apple is portraying former employees’ conduct as theft while labeling generic product-development information as trade secrets. OpenAI also claims Apple failed to take reasonable steps to preserve secrecy. The dispute remains at an early procedural stage, and the filing represents OpenAI’s position rather than a judicial finding.
