“#Steve Wozniak sued for allegedly stealing business idea<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

App<\/a>le co-founder Steve Wozniak is facing a million-dollar lawsuit for allegedly stealing the idea for a tech school bearing his name.<\/p>\n

Connecticut business professor Ralph Reilly claims in the suit that he and Wozniak made a handshake agreement in 2011 to establish a tech university, Insider reported<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The school would have been dubbed \u201cthe Woz Institute of Technology<\/a>,\u201d relying on Wozniak\u2019s name and reputation as a key engineer behind Apple\u2019s early days, according to the report.<\/p>\n

While the idea never came to fruition, Wozniak launched a similar venture under the name Woz U<\/a> in 2017 in partnership with computer coding boot camp firm Coder Camps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the launch of Woz U, Reilly emailed Wozniak asking to join the business, according to court filings reviewed by Insider.<\/p>\n

Woz U did not immedia<\/a>tely return The Post\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exactly what I envisioned for Woz Institute of Technology when I first approached you with the idea,\u201d Reilly reportedly wrote in an email.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are right on the mark,\u201d Wozniak responded, according to the report. \u201cYou had the right idea\u2026 I doubt it would have happened without your initial idea!\u201d<\/p>\n

But when Reilly followed up, asking for some ownership in the project, Wozniak reportedly stopped responding. <\/p>\n

Reilly is now suing Wozniak for alleged intellectual property theft and copyright infringement. He\u2019s reportedly seeking at least $1 million in relief and damages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reilly did not immediately return The Post\u2019s request for comment. <\/p>\n

Insider reported that Wozniak\u2019s team will argue that he and Reilly never reached a firm deal on the university, and that Wozniak is not typically involved in most business dealings, leaving matters like contract negotiations to his manager and others on his team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The case is set to go to trial on June 7 in Arizona, and Wozniak has been called to the stand to testify, Insider reported.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
