   Thomas C. Abbott, a spokesman for Stamford, Conn.-based Xerox, said the civil suit was filed in U.S. District Court after efforts beginning a week ago to reach an agreement were rebuffed by Apple. "We sought a settlement with Apple and we resorted to these legal means only when it became absolutely necessary," said Abbott.He said Xerox waited to approach Apple until copyright laws regarding software were clarified by the courts.
   ...
   "There are a number of reasons for that," said Xerox spokesman Thomas Abbott in Stamford, Conn.The main reason for the delay was the recent change and clarification in intellectual property laws, he said.
   
   Since the beginning of the year, Xerox has approached many large computer companies and demanded they pay a license fee.Abbott would not identify the companies, but so far both Sun Microsystems and Metaphor Computer Systems, both in Mountain View, have agreed to pay fees to Xerox.
   
   Xerox contacted Apple about a week ago.Apple advised Xerox yesterday it had nothing further to discuss "so we filed suit," Abbott said.
