Editing Energizer Bunny (section)

===2016 Duracell Distribution Lawsuit===
In February 2016, Energizer filed a trademark infringement and contract violation lawsuit against Duracell, accusing the company of using a pink bunny in U.S. advertising, despite not holding any U.S. trademark rights for the character. Energizer also claimed that Duracell had breached an agreement governing the use of pink bunny trademarks in the U.S. Duracell countered that the incidents Energizer cited involved overseas distributors importing foreign packages, and that it did not have the power to stop them. In November 2017, a U.S. District Court judge dismissed most of Energizer's claims but allowed the breach of the 1992 territorial agreement to proceed.
