Apple filed a lawsuit on June 24 against former employee Di Liu, alleging that he stole proprietary information from the company before beginning employment with Snap, the company behind social media platform Snapchat.
The lawsuit, filed in the Santa Clara County Superior Court, alleges that San Jose resident and Chinese citizen Liu misled Apple about his Oct. 30, 2024, resignation, telling the company that his reason for resigning was “to spend more time with his family and take care of his health.”
