  "account": "Dua Lipa's legal team has rejected Samsung's attempt to dismiss her lawsuit accusing the company of using her image on TV boxes without permission. In a response filing, Lipa's attorneys argue that Samsung's claims are \"faulty\" and that her case is \"straightforward.\" The lawsuit alleges that Samsung used her likeness on a significant portion of televisions sold in the US during 2025 and 2026 without her authorization. Despite Samsung's attempts to dismiss the case, citing that Lipa lives in England and lacks protections for likeness rights, Lipa's lawyers maintain that California's stronger laws should apply. They argue that English law would still allow Lipa to sue, but Samsung's argument fails at every step.",
  "summary": "The star's lawyers say Samsung broke the law by putting her on packaging without her permission: “Plaintiff does not lend her name and likeness casually.\"",
