alchemy points to the several alleged similarities between the packaging of teddy ruxpin and the packaging of tv teddy. first, teddy ruxpin' s box contains the phrase
world' s first animated talking toy ,
while tv teddy' s says
television' s first interactive talking friend .
second, the back of the ruxpin box has a photograph of a blond girl with a white ribbon in her hair. she is holding teddy ruxpin is her lap, and is apparently reading
to
or
with
him. there is a photograph on the side of the tv teddy box of a brunette girl with a red ribbon in her hair. the child is hugging tv teddy. third, the color of the box that tv teddy is packaged in and the color of one of the many children' s books containing a teddy ruxpin story are
virtually identical .
these
similarities
are insufficient to demonstrate a likelihood of confusion .
we are thrilled and honored to have teddy ruxpin recognized by such a valuable, respected publication ,
says ed hames, president of backpack toys, the company responsible for teddy ruxpin' s return .
like creative child magazine, backpack toys aims to inspire imagination and creativity within children - teddy ruxpin is a trusted friend who helps children develop a love of reading, opening their eyes to a world of magical adventures .
the first manufacturer of teddy ruxpin was worlds of wonder. it also offered a companion toy called grubby which could be connected to ruxpin with a cable. this would allow the two toys to “talk” to each other saying prerecorded sentences .
the only true similarities between teddy ruxpin and tv teddy are that they are both talking teddy bears. the idea of such a toy is not protectable under the copyright laws of the united states. thus, summary judgment in favor of defendant yes! is appropriate .
teddy ruxpin will still read stories with a motorized mouth. but now he has color lcd eyes that show 40 animated expressions synched to the stories .
my grandson will loves, his eyes are so magical i bought the original teddy ruxpin for my boys when they were little and they loved it .
commercials for the toy emphasized the difference between teddy ruxpin and its primary competitor, ag bear, which could talk but not sing or tell stories .
francie, have you tried the link embedded in the original answer? just click on the blue
this on teddy ruxpin
... .
i had teddy ruxpin made by: worlds of wonder inc. yes! ent. backpack toys inc. i didn' t buy the playskool .
worlds of wonder also manufactured a talking grubby toy that could interact with teddy ruxpin when the toys were connected to one another. smaller dolls and action figures of teddy and several of his friends are also available .
how does the toy know the difference between a teddy ruxpin cassette and a normal cassette? a special hole in the top of the teddy ruxpin cassettes tells the teddy bear that the right track contains movement data. if the notch isn’t present, the player then assumes that a normal cassette was being played, and it avoids interpreting the right track as movement queues .
like with my last dolly flashback, i have created a few videos to show off all that teddy is! the video below features teddy telling us the story of ‘the airship’. this tape came with teddy ruxpin and introduces us to the characters, grubby and newton gimmick .
this vintage teddy ruxpin doll was picked from an estate in east tennessee. the tape and speakers work but the animatronics do not. thanks for looking .

this is a teddy ruxpin power kit. the pictures shows how easy it is to connect or disconnect. this kit will fix the common corrosion in teddys battery box. this kit allows teddy to run without batteries .
ruxpin showed that toys can be much more realistic. the teddy bear could yawn, frown, giggle. it needed the prerecorded tapes to do that because they had the instructions for the toy. even if a little creepy, ruxpin will always be loved and remembered as the trend setter. today’s interactive toys have a lot to thank to teddy ruxpin and his creator ken forsse for carving the path .
teddy' s name originally belonged to prince arin, but ken forsse liked it so much that he gave it to teddy .
on the heels of teddy ruxpin came a second big success from worlds of wonder: lazer tag, a game with guns that shoot infrared beams at targets .
, he is a nervous caterpillar (octopede). he says that he hates adventure, but teddy ruxpin is his friend and he will follow him anywhere .
but that was decades ago. since 1985, the license to produce the teddy ruxpin toy line has been passed from company to company and his future has been shaky at best. but things are looking up for teddy ruxpin. he has a new home at toy manufacturer backpack toys and they’ve revamped this classic toy .
struggling toymaker yes entertainment corp. , best known for the yak bak, power penz and teddy ruxpin electronic toys, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection yesterday .

meanwhile, alchemy executives are clearly nervous. teddy ruxpin was alchemy' s biggest source of income, but alchemy has become merely a creditor of an ailing company .

cartoons are initially cheaper to make than live costume shows such as teddy ruxpin, forsse said. but the cost of retaining artists to draw new cartoons is higher on a series than the cost of using actors and existing sets and costumes for a ruxpin - type show .
hasbro inc. , reviving another toy whose developers have fallen on hard times, says its playskool subsidiary has obtained marketing and licensing rights to the teddy ruxpin talking bear .
the company wants to capitalize on the nostalgia of the first generation of ruxpin fans, which it dubs the teddy generation, who have now grown up and become parents .
12. alchemy claims that the marks, and indeed the bears themselves, must be similar because there has been actual confusion in this case. alchemy' s evidence of confusion consists of the following: (1) fifteen phone calls received by hasbro (the company currently marketing teddy ruxpin) inquiring as to where consumers could purchase tv teddy, (2) the declaration of ann stockman stating that another person, a designer named ravi sawhney ,
was shocked to learn that tv teddy was not teddy ruxpin ,
stockman decl. 9: 10 - 12, and (3) various newspaper articles comparing the two toys which refer to tv teddy as an improved or newer
version
of teddy ruxpin .

teddy ruxpin, a bear - like creature called a illiop; grubby, a caterpillar; and prince arin set forth to see the world and battle evil along the way .
teddy ruxpin is not a bear; he is an illiop. similarly, gimmick is a perloon, and the monkey creatures in the masks with the planes are called gutangs .
companies also made quite a few prerecorded stories teddy ruxpin could tell to the kids. ruxpin was the best selling toy in 1985 and 1986. and the 2005 version was named the 2006 animated interactive plush toy of the year by creative child magazine. it was made until 2010 .

phenomenon, none have come close to capturing this character’s endearing charm… until now. advancements in technology the past 20 years have made teddy ruxpin a better toy both on the inside and outside. the new and improved teddy ruxpin is smaller, more durable, better sounding, and more affordable. depending on the retailer, teddy ruxpin can cost between $ 50 – $ 70. a lot of parents will think twice before spending that much for a teddy bear, but keep in mind that the original toy from the 1980s cost about $ 100 and wasn’t as durable or well made as the new version .
and since it’s 2017, the latest incarnation of teddy ruxpin comes with it’s own app where you can download more stories if your children can get past the fact that this teddy 2. 0 will probably give them nightmares. unfortunately you won’t be able to put your old cassette tapes in his back like the old teddy 🙁
we think long - term, teddy ruxpin is a very viable franchise ,

mr. kingsborough, 40 years old, formerly served as a marketing executive at the atari corporation. when he started worlds of wonder, he licensed a toy teddy bear, teddy ruxpin, from its creators, alchemy ii, a southern california company .
up for sale is this large lot of teddy ruxpin toys! also includes vhs tape of grubby’s romance movie. teddy will play a tape but mouth and eyes do not move. grubby is untested. i will be out of the co ...
alongside teddy, worlds of wonder created a companion doll, grubby, to work alongside teddy. the downside of grubby was that unless you had a teddy and the proper connection cord, grubby was just a statue piece .
teddy’s questionable constitution did nothing to diminish his popularity. in 1987, forsse got his wish for a series exploring teddy’s mythology when dic entertainment produced 65 episodes of the adventures of teddy ruxpin; he was used as a spokes - bear for area fire departments, lecturing children on the stop, drop, and roll technique; and one terminally ill child asked that teddy read a special lullaby at her funeral .
kids today have all sort of ‘electronic’ toys they play with, but none of those toys match teddy ruxpin. he may not move his hands or feet or connect to wifi, but worlds of wonder created an animatronic marvel with teddy and their other toys. the facial movement on teddy alone goes unmatched in toy releases since then .
my tape collection for him has grown from six to ten in the span of two weeks! this past week, i replaced two tapes that were working less than perfect (the airship and teddy ruxpin’s birthday), purchased 3 ‘special’ tapes that were manufactured for fire stations during fire station tours, and ordered something my teddy has wanted for, well, forever, the teddy ruxpin christmas set (with santa suit, book and tape) .
kids adored teddy ruxpin so much that he became a multi - billion dollar product in five years ,
said jeremy padawer, co - president of wicked cool toys, the company behind ruxpin 2. 0. (the original teddy was created by ken forsse and alchemy ii in 1982. wicked cool toys is working with alchemy ii on the new iteration. )
some less expensive toys are doing better. brady says every teddy ruxpin he had was snapped up at $ 30, down from $ 70 last christmas. little boppers are doing well .
as the exclusive licensee, wow was entitled to take the legal action necessary protect the teddy ruxpin copyrights. the license agreement also contained a specific grant of this right, providing that :
c reated by ken forsse (with assistance from his brilliant team of alchemists) and voiced to life by phil baron, teddy ruxpin made his first friend request in the fall of 1985 .
in her book “toys and american culture, ” sharon m. scott described teddy ruxpin creator ken forsse as “the father of animatronic toys, ” who influenced toy robotics for years to come .
although a list of differences is not relevant to application of the intrinsic test, it does demonstrate why an observer, adult or child, would not find the two bears similar in overall appearance or performance. the bears have vastly different coloring. their clothing is different: teddy ruxpin wears a tan, sleeveless top over a reddish brown
jumpsuit ,
while tv teddy wears a purple colored sweatshirt with brightly colored trim, and no
bottoms
at all. their eyes are oriented in different directions and are of different colors, teddy ruxpin' s being brown, while tv teddy' s are blue. tv teddy has a tail, teddy ruxpin does not. teddy ruxpin has a tuft of fur on his head, tv teddy does not. their body shapes are entirely different, with the proportions of hands, feet, torso, head, and ears varying greatly. finally, the audiovisual presentation of each toy is significantly different. the bear' s voices are dissimilar. teddy ruxpin
narrates
a story, while the voices and sounds of the rest of the story are also broadcast from his torso. tv teddy, on the other hand, interacts with a video story. sometimes he addresses a tv character, while at other times he speaks to a child companion. only his own voice emanates from his body .
taking advantage of 32 years of electronics miniaturization, the new teddy ruxpin no longer feels like you' re lifting a hefty cassette player that' s been wrapped in fur. there' s still a giant box of electronics inside teddy' s torso, however, mostly due to a set of four aa batteries crammed in there. a sleeker rechargeable battery inside might have helped to better shrink teddy ruxpin' s electronic footprint and make him feel even more cuddly .
the new teddy retails for 69. 99 just like the original back in 1985
according to worlds of wonder, the licensee, more than a million teddy ruxpin dolls will be sold by christmas. a spokesman for toys r us, the toy - store chain, said the teddy ruxpins are selling better than cabbage patch dolls did during their first year .
up for sale is this large lot of teddy ruxpin toys! also includes vhs tape of grubby’s romance movie. teddy will play a tape but mouth and eyes do not move. grubby is untested. i will be out of the country from june 15 - july 1 .
everyone is talking about how scary pennywise is in the new version of it but what about another ’80s icon, teddy ruxpin? the cuddly, blinking, talking teddy bear that was the christmas toy back in the mid ’80s is baaaack! and he’s more terrifying than ever .
original teddy ruxpin dolls became collectors' items when production by world of wonders ended after three years in 1987. a short - lived version of the bear was also produced by playskool in 1993 .
the new teddy ruxpin' s most obvious upgrade is a pair of glowing lcd eyes that proved to be a divisive feature among gizmodo staffers. gone are the mechanical moving peepers of the original ruxpin that terrified a seven - year - old andrew who found them eerily similar to the soulless eyes used on ventriloquist dummies. i was happy to stare in awe at the original teddy ruxpin behind glass at toys
r

bought the licensing to teddy and started distribution of their version of the teddy ruxpin doll. what has changed in over 10 years you ask? well for starters yes! gave teddy a whole new look with a red shirt with a yellow stripe and blue pants. yes! also changed the cartridges back to cassettes. sales were not as impressive as the original

ruxpin will always be remembered as the front - runner in animated stuffed animals. it continues to be popular and sought after. currently there are lots of versions of ruxpin on ebay with prices ranging from great deals to way too expensive .
but teddy ruxpin was soon buried by an avalanche of talking toys from competitors. and worlds of wonder was unable to satisfy the initial burst of demand for lazer tag last christmas. demand later subsidied .
had the new teddy ruxpin included interactive features, like engaging with kids or responding to voice commands with even a basic level of intelligence, it would have easily been able to compete with toys like hello barbie, or sphero' s new spider - man. but its dated functionality — basically reading stories and singing songs — means fewer kids will be interested. nostalgic parents who grew up with the original might be the new teddy ruxpin' s most interested demographic, but in another 32 years the original teddy ruxpin will still be the one those retired' 80s kids will be hunting for on ebay .
teddy ruxpin is a children' s toy talking bear. the bear would move his mouth and eyes while' reading' stories which were played on an audio tape cassette deck built into his back .

in the early 1990' s, worlds of wonder, teddy ruxpin' s original manufacturer, went bankrupt. the license was transfered to playskool, who briefly produced a smaller version of teddy which used cartridges instead of cassette tapes to make teddy animate. in 1996, hasbro' s license expired, and for about a year teddy was without a manufacturer for the first time. during the same time, don kingsborough (the founder of worlds of wonder) was having some success at the latest company he had created, yes! entertainment. kingsborough signed on for another round of teddy, and in 1998 yes! released a new version of teddy ruxpin, this time he featured a red shirt and blue pants instead of the classic tunic, and went back to using cassette tapes instead of cartridges to make teddy talk .
worlds of wonder took the toy world by storm two years ago with teddy ruxpin, a stuffed bear that
talked
with the assistance of a special cassette tape and retailed for a whopping $ 70 .

placement aside, teddy' s new eyes are much more expressive than anything i had back when i was a kid. while it was cool that teddy' s eyes would open and close as his mouth moved to tell me a story, ruxpin had the same blank expression throughout the tale .

read
to its young companions. kids had disney engineer ken forsse to thank for this bit of family - friendly technology. forsse and his team used the same technology deployed in the talking creatures seen at disneyland attractions to make teddy ruxpin come to life and created their own company, worlds of wonder, along the way .

the characters in' the adventures of teddy ruxpin

one toys r us exec is quoted as saying, “teddy ruxpin’s are selling better than cabbage patch dolls did during their first year”, just after teddy was released in 1985. that’s a pretty awesome statement if you think about how large the cabbage patch craze was when they first hit store shelves in 1983 .
freudian trio: teddy = ego, grubby = id, gimmick = super - ego .
ah, teddy ruxpin, after my own heart! i wanted him so bad when i was little. however i did have a world of wonder playset with a floor mat, teddy and grubby. i love this flashback post. he is such a wonderful toy and you kept yours in excellent condition. 🙂
teddy ruxpin, which had a tape recorder tucked inside, could talk and sing, and was a big hit for christmas 1985. in its first fiscal year, the company' s sales soared to $ 93 million .

a pair of lcd displays give the new teddy ruxpin far more personality than the original one had, but it' s a new approach to plush toys that some of my co - workers didn' t find as endearing .
for anyone who misses teddy ruxpin being available, you’ll be pleased to hear a brand new version is planned for release in 2017. i suspect that one will include internal storage and wifi for connection to an online story store .
teddy’s popularity was sustained through a number of cassette tapes with different stories and clothing packs. the company filed for bankruptcy in 1988 and officially closed its doors in 1990. we can only imagine what they would have continued to create if they hadn’t closed their doors. teddy ruxpin was the first of its kind and the original teddy, i think, still holds up quite well compared to animatronic toys of today .
the original teddy ruxpin did things no toy had ever done before, capitalising on a technology that had only been popularised a few years prior with sony' s walkman. but the new teddy ruxpin now has to compete in a market where it' s rare for a toy not to include some electronic functionality, not to mention smartphones and tablets packed full of endlessly entertaining apps. a gizmodo staffer' s two - year - old, who has a history of loving weird robot toys, spent some time with both the original and the new teddy ruxpin. not only did the eyes fail to bother her, she didn' t seem to have much reaction to either bear at all .
