Xerox Seeking Licensing Fees for Software
by Paul B. Carroll (WSJ staff reporter)

Xerox Corp announceed a plan to seek licensing fees from computer
companies in a move that could further fuel the controversy over
intellectual-property rights.

Xerox, the business-equipment and financial-services company, said it
believes it is entitled to fees related to work it did in the early
1980s in developing graphical user interfaces.  The user interface
refers to the look and design of a computer screen, as well as the
basic commands for controlling it.

(lots and lots more follows)
