In 1964, the first prototype computer mouse was completed so that it could be used with a graphical user interface (GUI), 'windows'. Engelbart acknowledged a copyright for the wooden shell, which comprised of two metal wheels in 1970, describing it in the copyright claim as an "X-Y position indicator for a display system." "It was given the namemouse because the tail came out the end," Engelbart exposed his first invention.
