OpenAI publicly counters Apple’s trade-secrets lawsuit by sharing iMessage chats and email conversations and issuing a detailed rebuttal. Multiple outlets report that OpenAI posts “receipts” intended to dispute Apple’s claims that OpenAI and former employees misused or stole trade secrets, and that the company frames Apple’s allegations as inaccurate.
The reporting also notes that OpenAI’s response takes the dispute “to the court of public opinion,” including a blog post in which OpenAI argues that Apple’s lawsuit is misguided. Bloomberg and others describe OpenAI’s push as part of a broader public-relations effort alongside the ongoing legal proceedings. Several Indian outlets similarly emphasize that OpenAI breaks its silence and makes internal communications public, while others focus on the tone and substance of OpenAI’s refusal.
At the same time, outlets report Apple continues to pursue the case in court, including seeking actions such as halting OpenAI’s use of alleged trade secrets and speeding up discovery. One outlet also suggests the newly released messages point to a more mundane dispute rather than corporate espionage, reflecting differences in interpretation of the material.
