Apple has filed a lawsuit against Rivos Inc, a tech startup company that works to design and market their own system-on-chips, which makes them a potential rival to Apple’s own Apple Silicon. According to Apple, Rivos Inc has been running a ‘coordinated campaign’ to target Apple staff with access to Apple information about its latest SoC designs.
“‘Stealth mode’ startup Rivos, which was founded to design and market its own competing SoCs, has filled out its ranks with dozens of former Apple engineers. Starting in June 2021, Rivos began a coordinated campaign to target Apple employees with access to Apple proprietary and trade secret information about Apple’s SoC designs.
Apple also named two figures in the lawsuit, which are Bhasi Kaithamana and Ricky Wen. Both of them are former Apple CPU designers dealing with their system-on-chips, with Kaithamana having spent 8 years at Apple from 2013 to 2021 while Wen was there even longer, from 2008 till 2021.
“Apple welcomes and values open competition and the innovation that can result. But that competition cannot be built on the back of trade secret theft. The sheer volume of information taken, the highly sensitive nature of that information, and the fact that these employees are now performing the same duties for a competitor with ongoing access to some of Apple’s most valuable trade secrets, leave Apple with few alternatives.
