I don't think his proposed solution quite solves his problem. Among other things, if he got his wish, then "preponderance of evidence" would no longer suffice; he'd have to provide "evidence beyond a reasonable doubt" every time he wanted to win a case.

Fine, criminalize patent infringement, but also reduce the government-granted monopoly to 3 years, ban obvious patents that a ten year old kid can think of (probably most of them), and sanction companies that try to introduce such obvious patents with big-ass fines.
