Apple and Samsung will be appearing before the United State Supreme Court on Tuesday, October 11, to argue why either of them was wrong in considering the patent case from 2012, reported AFR.
This will be the first time a design patent case has been examined by the US Supreme Court since the 1800s.
The Supreme Court will hear arguments on Samsung's financial damages for Apple for the violation of design patents.
The court could decide damages and define the value of design work, which is gradually more valuable in the technology industry. Generally, the court issues decisions three to four months after hearing the arguments.
A Supreme Court jury in 2012 has decided Samsung infringed on three of Apple's iPhone design patents in terms of its rectangular shape, curved corners and 16 colorful circles on a black screen smartphone, based on their look and not function.
$1 billion was awarded to Apple from Samsung's profits for allegedly infringed phones. Afterward the award was reduced to $584 million on special appeal.
Apple declined to comment on the case, but has repeatedly said in the various statements that Samsung produced copycats of the iconic iPhone, in three months.
According to an article on cnet.com, the most famous battle between the world's two largest smartphone makers, which first took place in April 2011, could have a ripple effect across the technology industry and ultimately affect the gadgets people buy.
Facebook, Google, Dell and Lenovo are among those who are backing up Samsung; while the Apple has the support of more than 100 designers from companies such as Nike and Calvin Klein. Last week, Google also announced Pixel, a new smartphone line, aimed squarely at Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy.
Samsung says an Apple victory would choke innovation, while Apple argues that a Samsung win would weaken protections afforded to new creations.
According to an article on Financial Review, on Tuesday in an hour-long session with eight Supreme Court justices, lawyers from Samsung will make their case for 25 minutes, followed by the Solicitor General's office for 10. Apple's lawyer team will also have 25 minutes to respond.
