Apple on Monday asked a U.S. judge for a preliminary injunction barring two former employees ​and OpenAI from accessing, acquiring, using or disclosing alleged confidential information as ‌it moves ahead with its trade secrets case.

Apple ​last month sued OpenAI and the two ⁠former employees, both now working for OpenAI, alleging misappropriation of its trade secrets to benefit the ChatGPT-owner’s foray into consumer hardware, a ‌dramatic escalation of already simmering tension between the two companies.

The iPhone maker also filed a ‌concurrent motion on Monday seeking expedited discovery, including production ‌of ⁠documents relating to the defendants’ alleged access of ⁠Apple’s proprietary and trade secret information.

It asked the judge to order the two former Apple employees named in the lawsuit, Chang Liu and ​Tang Yew Tan, to ‌sit for depositions, along with OpenAI employee Yu-Ting Peng and an unnamed OpenAI employee who previously worked at Apple.
