Dua Lipa is opposing Samsung’s bid to dismiss her $15 million lawsuit over the alleged unauthorised use of her photograph on television packaging. According to Law Commentary, the singer’s lawyers argue that the image could have falsely suggested she endorsed Samsung’s products. The company disputes the claim, and the court has yet to rule on its dismissal request.
Pop singer Dua Lipa has filed a $15 million lawsuit against Samsung, challenging the company's attempt to dismiss the claim over alleged unauthorized use of her photograph on TV packaging. Lipa's legal team argues that displaying her image on Samsung TV boxes could mislead consumers into believing she endorsed the products, which is at the heart of the dispute.
The lawsuit, filed on May 8, 2026, in the US District Court for the Central District of California, centers around a photograph taken backstage at the 2024 Austin City Limits music festival, which appeared on Samsung's retail boxes alongside content from Samsung TV Plus.
