           Application No. 09/887,630                                                             


                                          The Invention                                           
                 The invention relates to location services for use with General Packet Radio     
           Service (GPRS).  See page 1 of appellants’ specification.  Location messages are       
           transmitted between location servers and mobile stations in a GPRS system via a base   
           station and a serving GPRS support node.  See page 3 of appellants’ specification and  
           figure 1.                                                                              
                 Claim 1 is representative of the invention and is reproduced below:              
                 1.      A method of transmitting a location service message between a            
                 location server and a mobile station in a packet data network, said method       
                 comprising:                                                                      
                         transmitting said location service message from said location server to  
                 a base station subsystem;                                                        
                         forwarding said location message from said base station subsystem to     
                 a serving GPRS support node; and                                                 
                         forwarding said location service message from said serving GPRS          
                 support node to said mobile station.                                             

                                           References
