Philips Norelco

[1][2] For personal care products marketed outside the United States, Palau, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands, Philips used the Philishave trademark until 2006.

[3] This was made official and legally binding on January 19, 1943, when the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff in the corresponding case of Philco Corporation v. Philips Mfg.

It was advertised in a science fiction series of adverts and shorts directed by Bruno Aveillan called Robotskin in 2007.

[14] Philips made and marketed a line of Norelco professional video cameras in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s.

The PC-60 was notable as one of the first major color television cameras, competing with the RCA TK-40/41 line but eventually winning out as industry standard (so much so that NBC, which was owned by RCA, bought Norelco PC cameras for sports and outside broadcasts) due to its light weight, servo-operated zoom lens, and advanced color reproduction.

Later marketed using the BTS—Broadcast Television Systems Inc.—brand name in a joint venture with Bosch, the division was subsequently sold to Thomson's Grass Valley, then to Belden.
