I won't give you odds but I think there won't a be a reduction (or increase) in
damages nor will there be a re-trial.

Then, about 6 months after Samsung has coughed up a billion plus interest, ALL
patents which Apple used in this trial will be found invalid or claims seriously
reduced making further mockery of the patent/litigation system and being an
oft-referred to case (much in the same way as eBay, et al).

Unless there are some that want to be caught in the fix.

Of course, they can always turn 'states evidence'.

In reverse order-

The odds of getting a whole new trial are less than 5%. Why?
Because appellate courts, in civil litigation, hate to order
a new trial. As a general rule, litigation in the trial has
already proceeded some time after the facts took place. The
appellate proceedings took place some time after that. To
order a new trial would not only result in additional time
and expense to both parties (and witnesses etc.), the claims
become more remote in time, and there is the general dislike
of requiring the fact-finding process to be re-run. This is
fairly rare.

I think that the odds of Samsung winning on at least some of
their appellate claims is quite high (greater than 80%),
which would cause at least some reduction in the damages
owed.
