Apple Sues OpenAI Over Trade Secrets

OBBM Network Editorial Staff
July 10, 2026

Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company of stealing trade secrets to build its own hardware for ChatGPT. The lawsuit claims that two former Apple employees, now working for OpenAI, accessed and downloaded confidential Apple files.

Background

Apple partnered with OpenAI in 2024 to use ChatGPT as an AI-powered answer engine on the iPhone. However, the partnership has since turned into a rivalry, with OpenAI recruiting former Apple designer Jony Ive to work on an AI-powered device.

The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI’s hardware business is built on knowledge stolen from Apple, and that the company’s chief hardware officer, Tang Tan, directed job candidates to bring Apple parts to their interviews at OpenAI.

Implications

The lawsuit highlights the increasing competition in the AI market, with companies like Apple, OpenAI, and Google investing heavily in AI research and development. The outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the future of AI innovation and the protection of trade secrets in the tech industry.
