Apple Sends Legal Warning to 40 Employees Now at OpenAI on July 17, Alleges Confidential Information Theft

According to Financial Times on July 17, Apple sent legal warning letters to approximately 40 former employees currently working at OpenAI, accusing them of misappropriating confidential information. The letters, citing multiple sources, instructed recipients to preserve business documents and communications, and demanded meetings with Apple's legal team. Apple had recently filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and two former executives—including a long-serving Apple officer with 24 years at the company—claiming they stole internal trade secrets before joining OpenAI. Apple stated in court filings that the evidence presented represents only the tip of the iceberg regarding OpenAI's broader trade secret violations. OpenAI countered that while it takes the allegations seriously, it has seen no evidence supporting the legal basis for the lawsuit.
