Oddly enough, the patent on the "gravity mouse" is held by Xerox. (I am
embarrassed that I don't remember the name of the inventor, who led Xerox
Corporate System Architecture around 1988-1993.)
And yes of course, the mouse itself was not invented at Xerox.

The Economist came to the rescue of those of us who sometimes get a
little lost in our discussions:

Incidentally, I already emailed their editor about that common error
that the mouse was invented by Xerox Parc.
