Samsung mum on Apple ahead of critical rulings

It seems that Samsung Electronics is beginning to mince its words about its high-profile intellectual property fight with Apple ahead of crucial rulings in Germany.

It was just months ago that the Korean technology giant had expressed bullishness in its legal battle with Apple, which doubles as its friend in parts but foe in finished products, but a series of setbacks against the California-based juggernaut appear to have injected humility.

``I can’t talk about anything related to Apple. I will say for sure that Samsung has prepared a very sophisticated strategy to handle the litigation issues,’’ Samsung CEO Choi Gee-sung told reporters Tuesday.
