Depending upon which rules you mean, they could be denied a patent application, have their issued patent voided, have patented claims cancelled, be prohibited from extending their patent application to other countries, and so forth.

If you refer to someone other than a patentee, failing to "follow the rules" might prevent someone from obtaining a patent on their own device, or find themselves infringing someone else's patent.
