Samsung Electronics has been hit with a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States over its Galaxy series and Family Hub appliances, the latest in a series of recent patent infringement battles.

The lawsuit, which concerns four patents, was filed Monday (U.S. time) at the Texas Eastern District Court with regard to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones, tablets and earphones as well as Family Hub-brand appliances.

The legal action was taken by King & Spalding on behalf of Staton Techiya LLC. The U.S. company also filed four patent infringement lawsuits against Samsung in February last year.

Separately, Samsung filed patent invalidation suits Monday against Mojo Mobility over wireless charging technologies.
