U.S. District Judge Rita Lin dismissed a trade secret lawsuit filed by Elon Musk’s xAI against OpenAI.
The San Francisco judge ruled that xAI provided insufficient evidence that OpenAI encouraged a former engineer to reveal confidential information.
The court rejected allegations that OpenAI improperly recruited employees to gain access to proprietary technology.
This ruling addresses one facet of a broader legal and personal conflict between Musk and the company he co-founded.
