Apple sues site for leaking trade secrets

Written on January 05, 2005 by Josh Pigford and 1 person has commented

According to CNET News, Apple has filed suit against Think Secret and other unnamed individuals for allegedly stealing trade secrets.

“Apple has filed a civil complaint against the owner of ThinkSecret.com and unnamed individuals who we believe stole Apple’s trade secrets,” Apple said in its statement. “We believe that Think Secret solicited information about unreleased Apple products from these individuals, who violated their confidentiality agreements with Apple by providing details that were later posted on the Internet.”

The suit specifically names such rumors as the “headless mac” and the new office software package but neither confirms nor denies the claims.
