All the claims by Xerox Corp in its lawsuit alleging infringement of its copyright by Apple Computer Inc in the screen display of the Lisa and Macintosh were thrown out on Friday by US District Court Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco. The only claim allowed to stand was the one seeking a declaratory judgement confirming Xerox’s claims to ownership of the 1980 copyright on the software for its Star workstation. Apple itself is making essentially the same claims against Microsoft Corp and Hewlett-Packard Co over MS-Windows and NewWave. Xerox says it will appeal the decision.
