OpenAI Says Apple Has Not Shown It Lacks Leaked Confidential Data

The significance here is less about the leak itself than about the burden OpenAI is trying to place on Apple: it is arguing that the absence of a guarantee matters as much as the leaked material. That framing turns a trade-secrets dispute into a question of whether one party can be forced to prove a negative about what it holds. The affected parties are the two companies and, indirectly, their suppliers, whose information is now entangled in the case. Whether the court accepts that standard, or demands evidence of actual use, is the open question worth watching.
