Apple Sues OpenAI for Trade Secrets Theft, Threatening the Company's IPO Plans

Apple filed a trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI last Friday, alleging a pattern of misconduct involving the company's chief hardware officer and noting that more than 400 former Apple employees now work at OpenAI. The complaint is detailed and sweeping in scope. The timing is particularly damaging as OpenAI is reportedly planning an IPO, and the legal action could complicate or delay those ambitions.
