On October 2, 2025, Munger, Tolles & Olson filed a motion to dismiss on behalf of OpenAI in response to a lawsuit initiated by xAI, titled X.AI Corp. et al v. OpenAI, Inc. (N.D. Cal. No. 3:25-cv-08133-RFL), filed on September 24, 2025. xAI’s complaint alleges misappropriation of trade secrets and unfair competition. OpenAI’s defense argues that the allegations do not establish that it received or used any of xAI’s trade secrets. Furthermore, OpenAI contends that the claims are rooted in the inevitable disclosure doctrine, which lacks recognition in California, and that the unfair competition and intentional interference claims are preempted by the California Uniform Trade Secrets Act. The hearing for OpenAI’s motion to dismiss is scheduled for November 18, 2025, before Judge Rita Lin. This legal battle highlights crucial issues regarding trade secrets and competition in the tech industry.
