Apple pushes back against OpenAI's bid to block early evidence gathering in trade secret suit
Apple has filed a reply defending its request for expedited discovery in its lawsuit against former employees, OpenAI, and io Products over alleged trade secret misappropriation. The move follows OpenAI's opposition, which argued the request was overbroad and unnecessary since regular discovery would largely overlap with Apple's proposed accelerated timeline. Apple is seeking early document production, forensic device imaging, and depositions within 30 to 50 days, alongside a separate preliminary injunction request to halt use of its alleged proprietary information.
