A nice little thing I once read in a book (don't recall the title, I read
too much :) is that at one time Apple wanted to sue Microsoft for copying
the idea of the mouse-driven graphical interface.

Then, from Palo Alto, Kodak (!!) came up and threatened to sue Apple for
the same thing if they were going on with that. Old film and paper
documents showed that Kodak had been experimenting with mouses etc.
already long before Apple got the idea.

(Could be that I am completely wrong with Kodak as the company, but that
is how I remember it.)
