There have been several high-profile cases of intellectual property theft and related crimes in the United States and elsewhere, and the punishment varies depending on the specific case and circumstances involved. Some notable examples include:

1. Samsung vs. Apple: In 2012, a California jury awarded Apple $1 billion in damages after finding that Samsung had violated several Apple patents related to the iPhone and iPad. This award was later reduced to $548 million.

2. Microsoft vs. i4i: In 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a $290 million judgment against Microsoft in a patent infringement case brought by i4i, a Canadian software company.

3. Waymo vs. Uber: In 2018, ride-hailing company Uber agreed to pay Waymo (a subsidiary of Alphabet, Google's parent company) $245 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that a former Waymo engineer had stolen trade secrets related to self-driving car technology and used them to help Uber develop its own autonomous vehicles.

In addition to civil damages, individuals and corporations found guilty of intellectual property theft can also face fines, imprisonment, and other criminal penalties.
