Supreme Court to Hear Samsung Challenge in Apple Patent Case
Tech giant Samsung is having a really rough week, and it's only Tuesday. First, the company stops selling the replacements to the Galaxy 7 Note. Like the originals, those replacements were spontaneously catching fire. Then, Samsung's stock plunged eight percent. Now spontaneous combustion and stock sell offs are real world problems. But perhaps not as perilous as putting your future in the hands of a certain eight people in black robes. Samsung will be in front of the U.S. Supreme Court today.
