What about the Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) work on the Alto in 1973 and the Star in 1981, the first mouse wheeling windowing GUI minicomputers. Apple then "borrowed" that work and used it for the macintosh in 1984 ... and the law suite that was filed by Xerox in the 1980s against apple ... and apple sued microsoft and HP ... etc

I think this has been hashed out before ... clear as mud ... prior art and prior battles.

This is work done in that same group at PARC. I would expect the patent to be written to avoid stuff that wasn't within the one-year window.
