Apple’s trade secrets misappropriation case against OpenAI is scheduled to go to trial on July 19, 2027, after a judge sets the formal timetable. The schedule comes as the lawsuit continues to progress through discovery, including additional orders requiring OpenAI to provide more information requested by Apple.
Across coverage, outlets focus both on the long wait until trial and on incremental courtroom developments leading up to it. AppleInsider reports that Judge Edward Davila set the trial date and that Apple will receive some of the documents it requested, while also noting the dispute’s origins in earlier years and the parties’ time window to agree on a schedule. 9to5Mac similarly highlights the official trial-date announcement.
In the interim, both outlets also emphasize Apple’s efforts to narrow and refine discovery requests to obtain expanded access to evidence. AppleInsider describes orders tied to information about how former Apple employees and tools were used, as well as recruitment-related details, and explains that the judge has granted more requests after Apple narrowed the scope. 9to5Mac frames the same discovery developments as additional wins for Apple in the case.
