Overview

• Apple filed the case in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, naming former sensor architect Chen Shi and Oppo’s InnoPeak as defendants.
• Apple alleges Shi attended numerous one-on-one meetings to gather technical insights, then copied confidential Box documents to a USB drive days before resigning.
• Logs cited in the filing show searches on Shi’s Apple-issued MacBook about wiping a device and whether shared-drive file openings could be detected.
• The materials allegedly include health-sensing work such as PPG and ECG features, proprietary temperature methods, chip engineering documents, and product roadmaps.
• Apple seeks an injunction blocking use or disclosure of the information plus restitution, damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and preservation of potential evidence.
