Underwear manufacturer Triumph has successfully sued Sony Music over claims that a skimpy outfit worn by Beyonce in the video for her single 'Video Phone'  was based on one of their designs.

Triumph launched the lawsuit earlier this year, saying that the lingerie in the video bears a striking resemblance to a set created for them by Bulgarian designer Iskren Lozanov. Sony disputed the claim, saying that Beyonce's outfit had in fact been inspired by the art of Pablo Picasso and not Triumph's products. The judge disagreed. Sony is now preparing to appeal the decision.
