## Resource

Apple is suing OpenAI, claiming two former Apple engineers stole trade secrets to help build OpenAI’s AI hardware. The lawsuit targets Tang Tan, key to iPhone and Apple Watch design, and Chang Liu, who had access to sensitive product data. Apple alleges a coordinated, institutional betrayal — not just rogue employees — to give OpenAI an unfair edge in the AI race. While OpenAI hasn’t confirmed hardware plans, they’re exploring new physical AI interfaces. The case, filed in California, could reshape how tech giants protect IP in the AI boom — and the fallout is still unfolding.
