`controls or has the power to control the other, or a third party or parties controls or has the powe:r to control
`both.
`
`I hereby declare that rights under contract or law have been conveyed to and remain with the small
`business concern identified above with regard to the invention, entitled "LOCATION OF A MOBILE
`STATION,'' described in the specification referenced herein and further described as Docket No. 1003-PUS.
`
`If the rights held by the above-identified small business concern are not exclusive, each individual,
`concern or organization having rights to the invention is listed below* and no rights to the invention are held
`by any person, other than the inventor, who could not qualify as a small business concern under 37 CFR
