So a proposal might be like this [1]:

To prosecute a patent (represent an inventor as their attorney in the
application process) requires licensing by the patent licensing bar. That
license states that willfully bringing a patent before the commission that is
found later to be invalidated, and such invalidation shows negligence on the
part of the prosecuting attorney, that attorney or their firm, is co-liable
for any charges or court costs incurred by the folks who invalidated the
patent.

It would also be interesting in public shaming of people who claim to have
'invented' such preposterous things. That is a much more social thing though.

[1] I'm not a lawyer, and I know it doesn't work like this today, its a
proposal to make it 'painful' to try to game the system as a lawyer.
