Dua Lipa says Samsung used her image to sell TVs without consent, files $15 million lawsuit
Summary
British pop star Dua Lipa has filed a $15 million lawsuit against Samsung Electronics, alleging the company used her image without permission to market television sets. The lawsuit claims Samsung featured a copyrighted image of Lipa on the front of cardboard boxes containing televisions, creating the false impression of her endorsement. Lipa's lawyers argue this unauthorized use has caused dilution of her brand identity and commercial goodwill. The pop star became aware of the infringement in June last year and demanded Samsung stop using her image, but the company allegedly refused. Samsung has declined to comment on the pending litigation.
