Dua Lipa launches Google Maps lists days after suing tech giant

British singer Dua Lipa and Service95 platform has partnered with Google Maps  to launch "Dua's Lists.

It's  a series of 12 curated guides featuring more than 130 of the "Levitating" singer's favourite restaurants, bars, shops and cultural spots across 47 cities worldwide. 

The lists, which include Dua's personal recommendations and notes, went live on Thursday and offer users a celebrity-guided travel experience. 

It comes days after  Dua Lipa  filed ‌a lawsuit against Samsung Electronics seeking at least $15 million in damages, accusing the company of using her image without permission to market its television sets.

The lawsuit alleges that Samsung featured a copyrighted image of the ​pop star on the front of cardboard boxes containing televisions for retail sale, enabling ​the company to benefit from what seemed like her endorsement of the product.

The ⁠image alleged to have been used on the TV boxes is titled "Dua Lipa - Backstage at Austin ​City Limits, 2024," and Lipa is the owner of all rights, title and interest in the image, ​the lawsuit said. The suit was filed on Friday in the California federal court.

Besides copyright and trademark infringement, Lipa has accused Samsung Electronics of breaching publicity rights.

Samsung Electronics denied allegations of intentional misuse of the image, which it ​said was provided by a third-party partner that created the content involving Lipa for Samsung's free ​streaming service.
