Isn't the bunny used for Energizer? --Nintendude 23:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

That's another bunny. Read the article.--Gosub 22:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] North America

"The Duracell Bunny does not appear in North America, due to the now iconic status of the Energizer Bunny, but he can be seen from time to time."

The above statement seems contradictory to me. Does the Duracell Bunny still appear in North America, or doesn't he? (In the UK, and many other territories, he still features regularly in advertisements.) 217.34.39.123 15:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

The duracell bunny does not appear in North America. I'd need a reference source to even believe that the duracell bunny EVER appeared in North America, because I've never seen it once, even before the original energizer bunny commercials started, which I do remember very well.69.216.111.81 04:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I remember the Duracell ads very will. There is a rerun of one of the ads on Utube at the following address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMw43Cd6aKE --Trickywoowoo 20:02, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

The Duracell bunny does appear in North America. I'm from New York and I have a pack of Duracell batteries with a Duracell bunny in the upper right hand corner. I purchased these in New York. While there are not commercials for it, it is still on the packaging. 24.59.124.109 22:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trademark

"The Duracell bunny was originally trademarked for use in the US and other countries. Duracell failed to renew its US trademark of the bunny and as a result lost it."

You don't have to renew trademarks, at least in the US. In fact, you don't even have to register them, though that gives you stronger protection.

if you want the ability to take legitimate legal action, you need to register and renew your trademarks in the US.

I know this is anicidotal but I distinctly remember seeing the old Duracell Bunny commercials in the US prior to the E bunny.  Where it stands now but in the last 15 I have not seen the D bunny

[edit] Wording

"The Energizer bunny is always depicted with a drum, as the Duracell bunny toys of which it is a parody had drums,"

This sentence is grammatically atrocious.
