Dua Lipa Files $15m Lawsuit Against Samsung
Dua Lipa sues Samsung for $15 million for using her image on TV packaging without permission.Summary
Dua Lipa has filed a $15 million lawsuit against Samsung, accusing the electronics giant of using her image on television packaging without obtaining her consent. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Central California, alleges that Samsung infringed upon her copyright, trademark, and right of publicity. Lipa's legal team claims that Samsung mass-produced and distributed television sets with her likeness on the boxes, which she says she did not authorize. The lawsuit states that Samsung used the packaging for a significant portion of widescreen televisions sold in the U.S. since last year. Lipa's lawyers argue that the revenue generated from these sales was tied to a false message that she endorsed the products. They also claim they spent over a year asking Samsung to stop the use of her image. In addition to seeking damages, Lipa has asked the court to issue an order prohibiting Samsung from continuing to use the image without her explicit permission.
