Engadget: xAI’s lawsuit accusing OpenAI of stealing trade secrets has been thrown out . “As first reported by Reuters, US District Judge Rita F. Lin ruled in favor of OpenAI by dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice, resulting in a final judgement on the case that doesn’t allow xAI to refile the lawsuit.”

⚠️ Human rights lawyers need to pay attention to "legalised secrecy" laws that allow human rights violations to be carried out with impunity.

Since Atlassian announced that they're going to collect all users' metadata to train their LLM (btw even Premium users can't opt out – only Enterprise), I checked what Atlassian means by "metadata".

I may be mistaken, but it looks like "metadata" actually includes some direct data: search queries, some ticket data, any frequently encountered data.

Not good news for trade secret owners.

This launched at the end of March but I missed it until now. WIPO: New WIPO Lex Collection Brings Trade Secrets Case Law into Focus. “The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has launched the WIPO Lex Trade Secrets Case Law Collection, a new online resource designed to improve access to judicial decisions relating to trade secret protection across jurisdictions.”

Our feedback to the #AIoffice: @EU_Commission access must stay proportionate.

⚠️ The current draft grants overly broad access, risking #TradeSecrets and sensitive info.
