  Xerox has a patent on some of the technology. This gives them the
chance to go after Apple two ways. As to Apple suing a clone maker is
they lose to Microsoft and/or Xerox, they have a good legal department,
and would have to be VERY careful about a suit. There is a legal action
for damages which can be brought in countersuit, based on the legal
principle that "you can be sued for harrasment if you file a suit which
you know has no legal merit."

  Certainly having just had their copyrights declared invalid or
unenforcable would open them to such a suit. I would expect a suit on
much more narrow grounds.
