[DEVELOPING] OpenAI asks judge to dismiss Apple's trade-secret suit over AI hardware designs
OpenAI moved on 6 August to have Apple's 10 July complaint thrown out, arguing the allegations are meritless and that its hardware recruiting followed industry norms; on 3 August it filed a rebuttal with supporting evidence. Apple's suit alleges a pattern of hiring-driven trade-secret transfer aimed at OpenAI's consumer hardware programme, naming Chief Hardware Officer Tang Tan. Watch the dismissal ruling: it sets how much of Apple's hardware-moat claim survives to discovery.
