杜阿·利帕起诉三星电子,要求赔偿至少1500万美元,指控这家科技巨头未经授权在电视包装上使用她的形象,以帮助营销和销售电视。
根据投诉由美国广播公司新闻获得,并于周四提交给加州联邦法院格莱美获奖辛格指控三星侵犯版权,据称该公司将她享有版权的图像放在全美零售店出售的纸板电视盒的正面。
“认识到李帕女士的恶名和善意,三星使用了李帕女士的版权图像...在没有授权或许可的情况下,在装有三星制造的零售电视的纸箱正面显著地突出了这一点。
该诉讼称,三星无视停止使用该图像的反复要求。
“三星拒绝遵从利帕女士的一再要求,即停止并终止继续利用侵权产品侵犯她的权利,”文件称。“三星的回应是不屑一顾和冷酷无情的,侵权产品至今仍在市场上,仍在全国各地以持续的故意侵权行为出售。”
根据诉状,这张有问题的照片据称是在2024年奥斯汀城市极限音乐节期间拍摄的。
利帕的法律团队辩称,未经授权使用她的肖像有助于促进三星电视的销售。
该文件引用了一位消费者的话,据称他写道,他们在看到包装上的Lipa后购买了一台电视。
这位歌手的律师还表示,Lipa对自己结盟的品牌和合作伙伴非常挑剔。
“利帕女士在商业合作中非常挑剔,并通过精心策划的高端赞助和代言培养了一个优质品牌,”诉状称。与这一蓄意策略相一致,原告不会同意在销售侵权产品时许可使用她的姓名、形象或肖像
ABC新闻联系了Lipa和三星电子的代表进行评论,但没有立即得到回复。
三星尚未公开回应这些指控。
Dua Lipa sues Samsung Electronics, claims company used her likeness on TV packaging
Dua Lipais suing Samsung Electronics for at least $15 million, alleging the tech giant used her image on television packaging without authorization to help market and sell TVs.
According toa complaintobtained by ABC News and filed in California federal court on Thursday, theGrammy-winningsinger accused Samsung of copyright infringement after the company allegedly placed a copyrighted image of her on the front of cardboard television boxes sold at retail stores across the United States.
"Recognizing Ms. Lipa's notoriety and goodwill, Samsung used a copyrighted image of Ms. Lipa...without authority or license and prominently featured it on the front of cardboard boxes containing Samsung manufactured televisions for retail sale," the complaint states.
The lawsuit alleges Samsung ignored repeated demands to stop using the image.
"Samsung has refused to comply with Ms. Lipa's repeated demands that it cease and desist from infringing on her rights by the continued exploitation of the Infringing Products," the filing says. "Samsung's response has been dismissive and callous, and the Infringing Products remain on the market to this day, still being sold throughout the country in ongoing acts of willful infringement."
The image in question was allegedly taken during the 2024 Austin City Limits Music Festival, according to the complaint.
Lipa's legal team argued the unauthorized use of her likeness helped boost sales of Samsung televisions.
The filing cites one consumer who allegedly wrote they purchased a TV after seeing Lipa featured on the packaging.
The singer's attorneys also said Lipa is highly selective about the brands and partnerships she aligns herself with.
"Ms. Lipa is highly selective in her commercial partnerships and has cultivated a premium brand through carefully curated, high-end sponsorships and endorsements," the complaint states. "Consistent with this deliberate strategy, Plaintiff would not have agreed to license her name, image or likeness in connection with the sale of the Infringing Products."
ABC News has reached out to representatives for Lipa and Samsung Electronics for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
Samsung has not publicly responded to the allegations.
