- Not-Invented-Here Syndrome
- Xerox PARC's commercialisation failures — the GUI, the Alto mouse re-engineered from Engelbart's SRI design, and Ethernet developed internally and largely not adopted by Xerox's product divisions — became the canonical illustration, with the laser printer the notable exception Xerox did carry to market as the 9700
This sourceHiltzik's history of Xerox PARC, in which the copier-franchise divisions had scarcely any patience for the laboratory's computing work, while Xerox commercialised the laser printer rather than shelving it. Hiltzik's account of PARC's 1970s work, naming the Alto personal computer, the Ethernet networking system, and the Star workstation that followed, while crediting the mouse to Engelbart's group. Hiltzik's account of the copier-franchise divisions' failure to exploit PARC's computing work and of the Apple team's December visit to PARC.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
