Overview
- Dua Lipa, who filed the case Friday in the Central District of California, seeks at least $15 million in damages.
- The complaint says Samsung put a copyrighted photo titled “Dua Lipa – Backstage at Austin City Limits, 2024” on TV boxes in U.S. stores, and it includes posts from buyers who said the image swayed them.
- Lipa says she discovered the packaging in June 2025 and sent cease‑and‑desist letters.
- The filing says Samsung refused to stop and kept using the boxes, and the company has declined to comment on the pending case.
- The suit brings claims under copyright law, California’s right of publicity, the federal Lanham Act for false endorsement, and trademark, and it seeks an injunction plus punitive damages and legal fees.
