According to court reporting cited by 9to5Mac, OpenAI voluntarily agreed not to use trade secrets Apple alleges were stolen while the lawsuit proceeds. The move followed a judge’s indication that an injunction was likely, and included a commitment to obtain forensic images of devices belonging to 14 employees who might hold relevant material. The court can enforce the agreement, but also questioned the breadth of Apple’s requested device and repository searches. Unlike earlier competing allegations of data removal, this development establishes concrete nonuse and evidence-preservation obligations.
