India, Oct. 29 -- Apple has taken legal action against Chinese smartphone producer Oppo, claiming that the company benefited from stolen Apple Watch technology that was shared by a former Apple employee. The case centers around Chen Shi, an ex-Apple engineer who reportedly took confidential materials before leaving the company and later joined Oppo.

According to Apple's court filing, Shi downloaded restricted data related to Apple Watch sensor development and later presented it to Oppo's engineering team. Apple stated that Shi conducted a presentation titled Apple Sensor Hardware R&D Philosophy and Methodology for hundreds of Oppo employees, during which he shared slides and information derived from Apple's internal systems.
