A company has been accused of stealing trade secrets from Apple. Rivos, a startup based in Mountain View, California, led a recent campaign to lure employees from the tech giant, according to a complaint filed Friday.
According to the first publication to report on the lawsuit, Apple alleges at least two former employees took gigabytes of confidential data with them to Rivos. Presentations that detail chip designs are among the information those individuals are accused of stealing.
According to the complaint, Apple has reason to believe that Rivos instructed at least some Apple employees to download and install apps before communicating with them. We contacted Apple for comment.
It is likely that the case will draw a lot of attention, like the case of the self-driving car company Waymo. Anthony Levandowski, the engineer at the center of the dispute, was sentenced to 18 months in prison before Donald Trump pardoned him.
