I am considering about buy 36mm deep impact socket as 3/4 Drive. But apex have unique surface contact on inside Of deep socket? Is it for special purpose or just their patent surface contact?

Are you referring to the "surface drive" sockets? They are a special design:
Surface Drive Sockets
Large openings on the six corners of the opening create a “floating” action that allows
the socket to slip quickly and easily onto the nut or bolt. Ideal for compensating for
imperfect alignment between the tool and fastener. Not generally recommended for
impact use. These sockets are identified with a SF- prefix.
Check out page #34 in this catalog; they list the different types of sockets they sell:

as noted by Apex: Not generally recommended for
impact use. These sockets are identified with a SF- prefix. (e.g.: SF-36mm37) If that is the case; sounds like a 6 point socket would be better suited to impact use if that is what you are buying the socket for.
What is the advantage of surface drive sockets?
Use surface drive sockets if tools are still running when they engage the fasteners (such as on this multi-spindle machine). They’re easier to engage and will result in less tool wear.
Sounds like they are designed for assembly machines on a production line; not for impact use.
