RE: I think that things are a bit different than you describe

"Apple bought the IP rights for the mouse, and other things, from Xerox because Xerox didn't know what to do with it, or at least didn't have the ambition to turn it into a consumer product."


Xerox did not invent the mouse.

"Douglas Engelbart at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) invented his first mouse prototype in the 1960s with the assistance of his lead engineer Bill English.[10] They christened the device the mouse as early models had a cord attached to the rear part of the device looking like a tail and generally resembling the common mouse.
