Apple seeks access to OpenAI hardware R&D in trade secrets case

Apple asked the court to let its experts review forensic images and documents on OpenAI's hardware development, including metal finishes, power management and batteries. OpenAI calls the requests overbroad and an attempt to "snoop on a competitor."

• Apple sued OpenAI and io Products in July over alleged trade secret theft
• Apple's expert found "critical flaws" in the analysis of a former employee's devices
• Apple seeks records on metal finishes, power management and battery functionality
• OpenAI proposes a neutral expert and calls the requests overbroad
