Judge Expands Discovery Scope in Apple's Trade Secret Lawsuit Against OpenAI

A judge has granted Apple permission to expand its discovery scope in a trade secret theft lawsuit against OpenAI and former employees, requiring defendants to submit specific records and testimonies within 14 days. This legal update allows Apple to gather critical internal evidence regarding alleged trade secret theft involving battery, power management, and metal finishing technologies from former employees. Judge Edward Davila ordered defendants to provide device access records and usage logs for ChatGPT, Claude, and Codex within 14 days, though he denied Apple's requests for broader OpenAI internal investigation records.
