Full story

Demanda y acusaciones

Apple demandó a OpenAI por el robo masivo de secretos comerciales para crear su hardware de IA, acusando a la “startup” y a su jefe de hardware de orquestar una campaña coordinada para robar secretos comerciales e información confidencial.

Based on facts observed and directly verified by our reporters or by informed sources

20Minutos20Minutos

En la demanda, Apple sostiene que la firma dirigida por Sam Altman utilizó de forma ilícita planos, componentes y especificaciones técnicas de dispositivos no lanzados al mercado para cimentar su propia y emergente división de hardware, y señala que más de 400 exempleados de Apple trabajan actualmente en OpenAI.

Apple también acusa a OpenAI de “asesorar activamente” a los empleados que iban a dimitir para que ocultaran la identidad de su próximo empleador y evitaran los protocolos de seguridad que habrían revocado de inmediato su acceso a los servidores confidenciales.

En paralelo, Ars Technica detalla que Apple “stumbling on a “rare” bug” que habría permitido a un empleado que se incorporó a OpenAI mantener acceso a información confidencial en servidores de Apple durante semanas tras su terminación, y que Apple encontró ese fallo mientras investigaba mensajes internos entre Yu-Ting “Alyssa” Peng y Chang Liu.

Mensajes, bug y negación

Ars Technica afirma que el 9 de febrero Liu descubrió un “authentication bug” que le permitió “access Apple’s shared network folders,” y que, en lugar de reportarlo, “over several weeks” habría descargado decenas de archivos confidenciales sobre hardware de Apple, incluyendo información de productos no lanzados y datos de proyectos patentados.

En el relato de Ars Technica, Apple cita un mensaje de Liu que decía “LOL,” y añade que en una nota al pie Apple confirmó que el bug fue “quickly fixed” después de que encontraran los mensajes de Liu.

TechCrunch reproduce el mismo mensaje y lo enmarca dentro de una acusación más amplia al señalar que la demanda incluye “LOL, I found out I can access the [network storage], so funny.”

Mientras tanto, Business Insider España recoge que un portavoz de OpenAI desmintió categóricamente las acusaciones y aseguró que la empresa con sede en San Francisco no tiene “ningún interés en los secretos comerciales de otras empresas” y que su enfoque sigue centrado en el desarrollo de tecnología innovadora.

Cronograma y consecuencias

La disputa legal se produce mientras OpenAI prepara su salida a bolsa en los próximos meses, y Business Insider España sitúa el conflicto tras la adquisición el año pasado por 6.500 millones de dólares de io Products, una “startup” de dispositivos de IA fundada por Tan y el exdiseñador de Apple Jony Ive.

Despite facing its second trade secret theft lawsuit in a little more than a year over its hardware ambitions, OpenAI still plans to unveil its first product this year and release it in 2027, Bloomberg reports

9to5Mac9to5Mac

Según 9to5Mac, pese a enfrentar su segunda demanda por robo de secretos comerciales en poco más de un año, OpenAI “still plans to unveil its first product this year and release it in 2027,” citando a Bloomberg y atribuyendo el plan a “a person with knowledge of the matter.”

9to5Mac también recoge que, tras el anuncio de la alianza con io Products en mayo de 2025, OpenAI ha aludido a planes de “several devices” y dijo en un court filing en el caso de iyO que su primer producto no será un dispositivo “in-ear or wearable.”

En paralelo, Business Insider España indica que Apple exige un juicio con jurado, solicita que OpenAI cese de inmediato estas prácticas, destruya cualquier material de su propiedad y rediseñe por completo sus próximos productos para garantizar que no incluyan ninguna de sus tecnologías patentadas.
