I believe it is in judge’s discretion. If my memory is accurate, Samsung was found to be a willfull infringer in the first trial for some or all patents in question, but the judge did not triple the damages.

I think it’s up to the judge to decide whether to triple the jury’s damage claims as part of the willful infringement, but I may be wrong. In any case, I hold the same opinion as you — this is a Pyrrhic victory, not worth the hassle, and if both companies don’t settle soon enough they will drag this on for years and in the end they’ll only exchange peanuts, if anything at all.
