In U.S. patent law, it already is a crime to file a patent whereby you know you are not the inventor or know there is prior art. I have not heard of a case where such a violation was punished. Any legal experts on here no of one? Probably for good reason. Its a nice gesture that we ask the inventors to be honest. But I don't see how well it could be enforced.
