RAF,

The order of inventor's names on a patent doesn't legally mean anything, so you can drop the "he's second on the list" when talking about Jano. You are either an "inventor" or you are not.

I presume you are discussing US Patent # 7,257,163 assigned to Silicon Image? For those interested, you can download a free .pdf at www.pat2pdf.org . It goes into a great deal of detail.
