Samsung Electronics Co. sued Apple Inc. again in the U.S. over patent infringements, one day after the companies were ordered by a federal court to discuss settling a year-long intellectual property dispute.

The maker of the Galaxy smartphones filed the additional suit on April 18 in the District Court for the Northern District of California, claiming Apple violated eight of its patents, Samsung said in an e-mailed statement today. The claim is in response to a February complaint by Apple, the Suwon, South Korea-based company said.
