Would a trial to determine theft of property normally be called a "theft trial"?

I assumed that if that were the case, it would follow logically that an "intellectual theft trial" would be a trial to determine theft of intellectual property. I suppose it might be strange if the former is not common vernacular.




It would be more likely to use the actual crime someone was charged with (e.g., "robbery trial," "larceny trial," etc.) and I think it's rare for legal statutes to have a crime called "theft." But otherwise the form seems normal.
