OpenAI alleges that a former employee transferred more than 100 files related to its product plans to a personal account before joining Apple. The company filed a document on Wednesday accusing the unnamed individual of presenting this information to Apple leadership, which included the vice president of the company's operations in Asia.

The filing marks a shift in the legal battle between Apple and OpenAI over trade secrets, as OpenAI now takes on the role of accuser. According to the document, the disputed files contained images of at least one unreleased device, supplier information, engineering data, and project files. Reuters reported on the filing earlier.
