After getting a second chance to formally respond to Apple’s lawsuit, Jon Prosser filed his answer today, disputing the company’s account of how he obtained and published details about the Liquid Glass revamp. Here are the details.
A bit of background
A few days ago, U.S. District Judge James Donato granted Jon Prosser’s request to set aside the default entered against him and gave him another chance to respond to Apple’s complaint.
The default had been entered against him after he missed several deadlines to respond to Apple’s complaint over the leak of the Liquid Glass redesign, which essentially meant that he could no longer formally contest the company’s allegations, and the lawsuit would proceed without his participation.
That was a very different situation from that of the lawsuit’s other co-defendant, Michael Ramacciotti, who had been staying at the home of now-former Apple employee Ethan Lipnik, whose development iPhone became the source of the leak.
