GoKawiilApple and Jon Prosser’s attorney have asked the court to set aside the default entered against him last October, which may give him another chance to formally respond to the complaint. Here are the details.
A bit of context
Last year, Apple filed a lawsuit against Jon Prosser over the leak of the Liquid Glass visual revamp.
In addition to suing Prosser, Apple also sued Michael Ramacciotti, who, according to court documents, secretly accessed the iPhone of Apple employee Ethan Lipnick and got paid for showing Prosser a version of iOS 26 that was still under development. Lipnick was later fired.
According to court documents, while Ramacciotti cooperated with the lawsuit from the start, Prosser missed several deadlines to respond to Apple’s complaint. Prosser contested this information.
That said, last October, the court accepted Apple’s request to enter a default judgment against him after he missed the court’s deadline to answer the complaint, effectively forfeiting his right to formally contest the allegations in the lawsuit.
Fast-forward to April 15: two days after Apple and Ramacciotti filed a joint status report on the case, Prosser’s newly retained attorney filed a separate one.
In it, Prosser’s attorney said he had been retained two days earlier, and told the court that Prosser intended to promptly seek to vacate the default by presenting “evidence of meritorious defenses to Apple’s claims.”
That brings us to today.
