and licenses it to other companies; Radio Corporation of America, the
originator of that brand, created the NTSC colour TV standard before
Thomson became involved."
-> from the PAL wiki page.
Technicolor owns them all it seems.

It was interesting to find out the the same
company
now owns all three companies that developed the three standards.
What's the name of the company? I won't read the Wiki or google now ;).
