The patent case that has been bugging the two biggest companies in the tech industry, Samsung and Apple, has apparently escalated to the Supreme Court after Samsung filed a motion to overturn the verdict.

According to PhoneArena, Samsung doubts that the Supreme Court was given detailed information about the patent issue, which is why the Korean company is more than adamant to have their case reviewed in time for the final decision. The patent case that was originally filed under a $1 billion lawsuit has apparently been cut down to half, making Samsung still lucky should the case favor Apple.

In a previous report by the Latin Post, Samsung has already agreed on paying Apple $548 million for the lawsuit but still has some sort of guarantee that the money will not go straight to Apple's accounts. In the report, it said that Samsung still has the right to get a reimbursement in case the suit is overturned.

In a statement given by the Supreme Court quoted by Latin Post, it said: "Samsung continues to reserve all rights to obtain reimbursement from Apple and/or payment by Apple of all amounts required to be paid as taxes. Samsung further reserves all rights to reclaim or obtain reimbursement of any judgment amounts paid by Samsung to any entity in the event the partial judgment is reversed, modified, vacated or set aside on appeal or otherwise, including as a result of any proceedings before the USPTO addressing the patents at issue or as a result of any petition for writ of certiorari filed with the Supreme Court. Samsung notes that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board has issued a final decision of invalidity on the '915 Patent, and Apple filed a notice of appeal to the Federal Circuit in the USPTO last week."

Today is the deadline for Samsung to pay the stipulated amount and both parties are also scheduled to appear before the court for an oral argument. The argument is said to last for about 30 minutes before the court gives its final statement. Samsung, on the other hand, expects some sort of divine intervention during the deliberation saying that the patent law at the time doesn't actually fulfill what the modern time briefly covers.

Samsung also adds that "If the current legal precedent stands, it could diminish innovation, stifle competition, pave the way for design patent troll litigation and negatively impact the economy and consumers."
