So, what was the result of that 1989 case? Did the court find for Xerox or
Apple?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Steve Jobs had his own reasons for visiting PARC. Apple
bought
access to the PARC by means of a stock deal that seemed lucrative to the
Xerox
managers on the East Coast: They might buy 100,000 Apple stocks for one
million dollars. Holding this admission ticket in the hand, Steve Jobs,
Apple’s president Mike Scott, Bill Atkinson, and a number of members of the
developing team marched up. “I think mostly … what we got in that hour and
a
half was inspiration and just sort of basically a bolstering of our convictions
that a
more graphical way to do things would make this business computer more
accessible.”

Not the smartest move on Xerox's part, pricing in
particular, but Apple didn't
steal
anything.
And the 1989 suit was specious,
IMHO.
