Overview
- Apple’s complaint in the Northern District of California names Chen Shi, Oppo, and Oppo’s U.S. arm InnoPeak as defendants, with the case active and no court rulings reported.
- Apple alleges Shi downloaded 63 documents from a protected Box folder three days before resigning, copied them to a USB drive, and searched how to wipe a MacBook and avoid shared‑drive detection.
- Included materials allegedly cover Apple Watch health‑sensing work such as PPG, ECG, and temperature features, along with chip engineering documents and product roadmaps.
- Messages cited by Apple show Shi telling Oppo he would “collect as much information as possible,” with Oppo’s health vice president replying with approval, and Apple says Shi now leads sensing work at Oppo/InnoPeak.
- Apple seeks an injunction barring use or disclosure of its trade secrets plus restitution, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees, while Oppo denies any misappropriation and says it will cooperate with the legal process.
