Apple targets dozens of OpenAI employees with legal letters

Apple has issued legal preservation letters to approximately 40 former employees currently working at OpenAI. This action requires the individuals to maintain all relevant documents and communications. The move is part of a broader trade secret lawsuit filed by Apple against OpenAI. The company believes the misappropriation of confidential information regarding its hardware engineering may involve more people than those initially named in the legal complaint, intensifying its aggressive tactics in the dispute.
