OpenAI asks a US judge to dismiss Apple’s trade secrets lawsuit, arguing that Apple’s claims lack merit. In court filings referenced by multiple outlets, OpenAI’s lawyers say the company has “no use, need, or desire” for Apple’s alleged trade secrets and are seeking to end the case at an early stage.
While the reports focus on OpenAI’s motion to dismiss, they describe a dispute in which Apple accuses OpenAI of improperly taking or using Apple’s proprietary information. OpenAI counters that Apple’s allegations do not justify proceeding and that the complaint should be rejected by the court.
The outlets also indicate that the motion is being considered in federal court, with OpenAI asking the judge to dismiss the lawsuit rather than hold further proceedings. The reporting does not provide additional details on the specific trade secrets at issue or on Apple’s underlying legal theory beyond the existence of the trade secrets claim. The next step is for the judge to decide whether to dismiss the case or allow it to proceed.
