Overview
- Oppo must produce requested documents and device forensic reports on a rolling basis starting Oct. 28 and complete delivery by Oct. 31, according to the U.S. District Court order.
- Apple alleges former engineer Chen Shi downloaded 63 protected Apple Watch sensor files to a USB drive before his departure and later presented Apple-derived material to hundreds of Oppo employees.
- Apple says the talk, promoted internally as an 'Apple Sensors' session, used slides taken from Apple resources and included detailed Q&A about Apple's sensor design.
- Oppo says its internal search found no indication it received Apple trade secrets and characterizes Shi's presentation as covering general engineering principles, arguing there is no basis for injunctive relief.
- Shi has agreed to a deposition but seeks an extension and protective order citing a recent medical condition, while Apple pursues injunctions, employee quarantines, audits, and monetary relief.
