A federal judge ruled that Apple can obtain interview materials, private LINE messages, and testimony from key figures in a case involving former Apple employees from OpenAI. The court ordered OpenAI to submit the collected materials within 5 days and other relevant materials within 14 days. Apple accuses OpenAI of trade secret theft in the lawsuit, including former employees using Apple laptops to download confidential information and instructing other departing employees to bring relevant information to interviews. The judge also approved depositions for OpenAI employees Chang Liu, Alyssa Peng, and Chief Hardware Officer Tang Yew Tan. However, the judge denied Apple's request to expedite access to OpenAI's R&D information in specific areas and broader discovery requests.
