Apologies, Dave, my implicit joke fell flat. Their website is wrong;
you are correct (as seen on the tombstone of the actual patent).

On this
day in 1970 computer pioneer Douglas Engelbart was awarded the
patent for the computer mouse.
Not really meaning to argue but http://www.dougengelbart.org/content/view/90/48/
claims: "Doug
Engelbart's patent on the computer mouse, titled X-Y position indicator
for a display system (3,541,541), filed June 21, 1967 and granted
January 17, 1970 [...]". Link to the USPTO:

Hmmm... Right date, but wrong month; thanks. Not sure how that happened,
but now corrected.
