But I guess we should not over-estimate this fact.

As the officer and leader of this R&D group all patents invernted in this group usually will carry his name, - whether he had the genious idea - or was just the one to countersign the reports.
And take a look, there are plenty of people mentioned as inventors on these patents.

As Senior Vice President of Technical Developement he automatically collected a lot of patents, and I am sure there will be further patents published (under GF) which are still in the pipeline.

Fact is that SV has an excellent background on chip technology. He knows best the weaknesses of FinFET and the solutions POET will offer!
