A federal judge has fixed 19 July 2027, at 9 a.m., as the trial date in Apple's trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI. Judge Edward Davila set it in a case management order dated 28 October 2026.
Apple sued in July 2026. It says two former employees, OpenAI and io Products improperly accessed or used its confidential product and technology information to help OpenAI's consumer hardware work.
The order sets deadlines for discovery, motions and pretrial steps, and tells lead lawyers on both sides to meet by 1 June 2027 to discuss settling. That meeting is routine in federal civil cases and does not mean talks are under way.
The date first came up as a tentative one at a conference on 14 October.
