$600M plus an additional $290M is a lot of money. Nevertheless, akin to how the DOJ went after Microsoft (regarding how Redmond essentially ripped off / squeezed out Netscape) Samsung’s fines are much the same i.e., the cost of doing business for playing catch-up to Apple’s products (most notably, the iPhone and iPad) as the company reported $7.5B from June 2010 through June 2012 in revenues (which breaks down to roughly 0.00118666666667) when said fines are divided by said revenues.
