Apple on Friday sued OpenAI ‌and two former employees, alleging misappropriation of its trade secrets to benefit the ChatGPT-owner's foray into consumer hardware, in a dramatic escalation of already simmering tension between the two companies. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges a coordinated effort to steal Apple's confidential information, including product designs, manufacturing processes and ​supply chain strategies. Apple alleges that it has uncovered a pattern of departing employees taking steps to evade security measures, with OpenAI allegedly coaching new hires on how to avoid scrutiny. The lawsuit was filed against Chang Liu, a former senior system ​electrical engineer, and former vice president of product design for iPhone and Apple Watch Tang Yew Tan, as well ⁠as OpenAI Foundation, OpenAI Group PBC and io Products.
