Hi Paul,

the sentence Yes, the Lisa did ship with a mouse.
might be correct. But I have to add:
Yes, the Lisa did ship with a mouse, BUT not in Europe and not before 1985

greetings TOM from Bavaria, the country of the alps, the marvellous castles of Koenig Ludwig and the original Octoberfest in Munich

Yes, the Lisa did ship with a mouse.  They started with the "lisa" style mouse, then later switched to the Macintosh style mouse to simplify production after the existing supply of Lisa style mice ran out.

The patent date on the mouse (1984) would be the date the patent was granted - the patent would have applied for it much earlier (possibly even years).  

-Paul
