Key legal inference: If Goldberg's name appears on Line 74 of a patent, he had control over whose name was designated as attorney. That same control would have applied when Litman's name was used — supporting the argument that Goldberg directed or permitted that use.

Why it matters: Control over his own name on Line 74 implies control over Litman's name; strengthens willfulness.
