Apple has managed to halt sales of 'tablets' Samsung temporarily in markets such as Germany and Australia, while Samsung has not been so successful. Now, the South Korean company has decided to change its strategy and concentrate their efforts.

The company did not seek legal action to halt sales of the iPhone 4S in South Korea. In recent weeks had speculated a possible claim Samsung to prevent the iPhone 4S could be marketed in their country of origin. The company was thinking of trying to halt sales of the iPhone 4S in one of its main markets, but has decided not to.

According to The Asian half Chosunilbo, the company has decided to change its legal strategy in cases with Apple. Quoting a senior executive of Samsung, the Asian half said the company wants to focus on "engaging in legal battles with Apple alone in the global marketplace."

With this decision, the company would abandon its intention to take the iPhone 4S in South Korea, which had been interpreted as a way to gain market share in the country.
