"PAL was developed by Walter Bruch at Telefunken in Germany....
Telefunken was later bought by the French electronics manufacturer

Thomson. Thomson also bought the Compagnie Générale de Télévision where

Henri de France developed SECAM, the first European Standard for colour

television. Thomson, now called Technicolor SA, also owns the RCA brand

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.
