Apple 请求联邦法官禁止 OpenAI 使用涉嫌带离的硬件机密
Apple 指控 OpenAI 前员工带走硬件机密，这案子开庭时 OpenAI 正冲刺 1.4 万亿估值的 IPO。
Apple 在圣何塞联邦法院请求下达禁令，禁止 OpenAI 使用其指控前员工带离的硬件机密，美国地区法官 Edward Davila 同时审理 OpenAI 的撤案动议。Apple 指控今年 1 月加入 OpenAI 的 Liu 利用认证漏洞进入其网络存储并下载机密文件，还在 LTspice 中仿真了一份下载的电源转换器原理图。Apple 另称 OpenAI 要求求职者带原型和“设计物料”参加面试展示。若禁令获准，将影响 OpenAI 售价 300 美元以上的智能音箱计划和 1.4 万亿美元估值的 IPO。Apple 的难点在于把 Liu 下载的文件追溯到 OpenAI 的实际产品工作中。
Bloomberg: Apple wants a federal judge to bar OpenAI from using hardware secrets it says former employees carried over.
US District Judge Edward Davila in San Jose hears that injunction request alongside OpenAI’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
This is the lawsuit’s first major hearing since Apple sued in July.
Apple says Liu, who joined OpenAI in January, exploited an authentication bug to reach Apple’s network storage and download confidential files.
Apple’s later filings say he simulated a downloaded power converter schematic in LTspice and told a colleague his AI agent could adjust the circuit itself.
Apple also claims OpenAI told job candidates to bring prototypes and other “design artifacts” for “show and tell” interview sessions.
An injunction would land as OpenAI readies a smart speaker priced above $300 and an IPO at a targeted $1.4T valuation.
Apple’s hardest task is tracing a specific file from Liu’s downloads into OpenAI’s actual product work.
