Start another company, continue.Good luck untangling double dutch sandwiches. Nothing but monetary punishment works, unless you're willing to jail executives.

Patents have to be issued in the name of people (although they can ultimately be assigned to companies). So you could institute some kind of ban for 10 years or something if too many of the person's patent applications turn out to be total BS.
Running out of people is even more implausible than running out of legal entities.
Yeah, I agree. I had a similar thought while writing the note. Some sort of ban is an entertaining thought, but hiding ownership is probably too easy for bans to make a meaningful difference.
