Samsung made a “mockery” of Dua Lipa by putting her picture on TV boxes, lawsuit says

Dua Lipa has sued Samsung in California over the alleged unauthorized use of her backstage Austin City Limits photo on TV boxes.

She says the image appeared on Samsung packaging without permission and that sales continued after she asked the company to stop.

The complaint alleges copyright, trademark, and right-of-publicity violations.

The case could shape how brands use celebrity photos in packaging and whether such use triggers damages or licensing obligations.
