IANAL, but it seems clear the patent claims *are* owned by MIT, though 
not controlled by them.  Thus, they are unfortunately "owned or 
controlled" and would necessarily have to be granted.  This is intended 
for cases where a company is an exclusive licensee, while MIT is the 
exclusive licensor.
