Patent Proxy Services... at your service! We'll register patents on your behalf for a small one time fee of $10,000 for low volume... or $10 for high volume! Plus the cost of actually applying for patent.

You provide all completed paperwork sans author.

Individuals who let their names used on behalf of this service have a contract with the company that pays them $5 for a submission and all they had to do was go on a website and fill in their personal info and hit confirm then accept a digital signed document stating that all patents they register belong to the company. Surely the poors will accept $5 at no cost to them.

They don't even need that. They'd just use shell companies.
