Dua Lipa Sues Samsung for $15 Million Alleging Unauthorised Use of Her Image on TV Packaging
The pop star says Samsung used her image on TV packaging to imply endorsement and seeks $15 million in damages.
- On Friday, singer-songwriter Dua Lipa sued Samsung in the Central District of California, alleging the electronics manufacturer used her likeness on television packaging without permission or payment.
- Samsung allegedly began placing the photograph—taken backstage at the 2024 Austin City Limits Festival—on TV boxes last year as part of a large-scale retail marketing campaign without the artist's approval.
- Seeking at least $15 million in damages, Lipa asserts copyright infringement, trademark violations, and false endorsement under the Lanham Act, claiming Samsung created a false impression of partnership.
- After Lipa discovered the unauthorized use, she demanded the company cease distribution, but the suit claims Samsung responded in a "dismissive and callous" manner and continued the campaign.
- The filing emphasizes that Lipa maintains a "premium brand" and is "highly selective" with endorsements, while Twitter posts suggest some consumers purchased TVs based on the unauthorized apparent association.
