Apple filed for a preliminary injunction and expedited discovery on 3 August 2026 in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
The motion seeks to bar OpenAI and two named former Apple employees from accessing, using, or disclosing Apple's claimed confidential information.
A hearing is set for 1 October 2026 at 9:00 a.m., and OpenAI has publicly called the underlying claims false.
