SAN FRANCISCO \u2014 OpenAI asked a U.S. judge on Wednesday to dismiss \u200bApple’s lawsuit that accused the ChatGPT maker and two former Apple employees of trade-secret theft to help it expand into consumer hardware, \u200csaying it was building something “entirely new.”<\/p>\n
“OpenAI has no use, need or desire for Apple’s trade secrets. OpenAI \u2060is building something entirely new and \u200bdifferent from anything at Apple,” lawyers \u2060for OpenAI wrote in the motion to dismiss filed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Apple did not \u200cimmediately respond to a \u200cReuters request for comment on OpenAI’s motion.<\/p>\n
Apple had alleged in its \u2060complaint in July that OpenAI systematically obtained \u2060and exploited Apple’s confidential information through former employees, recruiting practices and supplier relationships to accelerate its consumer hardware ambitions.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit between the two tech companies set up a battle over who will control future AI devices that may not use traditional apps or operating systems \u2014 devices which, if \u200csuccessful, would direct consumer attention away from Apple’s \u200bbest-selling iPhone. Analysts believe OpenAI is working on a phone or other device of its own.<\/p>\n
“Apple’s complaint fails to sufficiently describe the information for which it claims trade secret protection; its generalized product development categories are not sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss,” OpenAI said in the filing.<\/p>\n
The company argued that the iPhone maker also failed to demonstrate it owned “a \u200bprotectable trade secret” or to “plausibly allege misappropriation” by any of the defendants.<\/p>\n
“Apple should not be \u200cpermitted to use \u200ca baseless \u2060and pretextual lawsuit to make up for its shortcomings in the market for talent and retaining its employees, and its failures to integrate AI into its products,” the motion said.<\/p>\n
The two companies have an existing partnership that allows Apple \u200cusers to access ChatGPT results \u200bthrough Siri, while iPhone users can also \u200csign up for ChatGPT \u2060memberships directly from \u200bthe iOS settings menu.<\/p>\n
