a patent provides the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the patented invention for the term of the patent, which is usually 20 years from the filing date. In pharmaceuticals when a patent expires this means other companies can now begin making 'generic' versions of the drug.

Typically they have to pay the patent holder the profits from the illegal gain plus penalties. Unless they obtain a license as part of the settlement, they will have to stop producing the item.
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.

An issued patent gives the patent holder the right to sue an infringer (either someone who affirmatively copied the invention or even someone who innocently constructed the claimed invention without knowledge of the patent) for damages (money) and an injunction (to stop infringing activity).
A patent is a grant from a patent office, such as the United States Patent Office. "Patent Pending" is a phrase that an application for a patent has been filed and is in some stage in the process of obtaining a patent. Thus, a patent can be presently enforced while a patent that is merely pending is unenforceable but can mature into a patent that can be enforced. Once the pending patent matures, the patent owner can sue for back damages or reasonable royalties starting from the filing date of the patent.
I don't know what light celluar concrete is, but I do know that you cannot patent something that's already public. A patent for intellectual property is good for 20 years. Once the 20 years is up it's public knowledge. OOPS...I think I meant "utility " patent.
