Former Apple employee and individual defendant; Apple alleges he exploited an authentication bug to download confidential files after departing.
Apple told the court that OpenAI and io Products stretched an objection capped at five pages into nine pages that reargue its injunction request. Its answer is to keep every disputed filing in the record for the October 14 hearing on slowing OpenAI's hardware work.
