Does it hurt for Samsung at all to loose this money? Surely it it is 548M$ lost which could have been used otherwise, but in the big picture is it like a needle sting or a blast with a hammer? Also, how is this kind of money generally paid? They just wire more than half a billion to Apple? Send it over in cash? In gold? Do they get an invoice?

Its a drop in the bucket really. Samsung's revenues run around 4 billion per quarter and you also have to keep in mind they're not like Apple where they're only in one industry - they have a ton of products across a spectrum of industries. source: http://www.statista.com/statistics/298704/samsung-quarterly-revenue/ http://www.statista.com/statistics/298704/samsung-quarterly-... Also, I just read the book "Haunted Empire" which detailed the Apple v. Samsung battle in pretty good detail, it's an excellent read: http://www.amazon.com/Haunted-Empire-Apple-After-Steve/dp/0062128256/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449330315&sr=8-1&keywords=haunted+empire http://www.amazon.com/Haunted-Empire-Apple-After-Steve/dp/00...
