OpenAI publicly counters Apple trade‑secret lawsuit

OpenAI has publicly challenged Apple’s recent lawsuit alleging that the AI company stole trade secrets, calling the suit “careless, aggressive, and oddly personal.” In a blog post titled “Apple is getting this wrong,” released overnight, OpenAI criticized Apple’s claims and released a selection of iMessage and email exchanges that it says contradict the allegations at the heart of the case.

Apple’s complaint, filed last month, accuses OpenAI of misappropriating proprietary information from the tech giant. The OpenAI post is not a formal legal response but an attempt to shape public opinion by highlighting perceived inconsistencies in Apple’s narrative. By publishing the communications, OpenAI seeks to demonstrate that its actions were not the result of a deliberate theft of trade secrets, while framing the lawsuit as an overreach.

The dispute remains in the early stages, with both parties preparing for further legal proceedings. As the case unfolds, observers will watch how each side presents its evidence and arguments in court, while the public debate over the merits of the lawsuit continues to intensify.
