This is a huge surprise to me. GE no longer owns the Nipper logo? What about the RCA logo? It would seem even harder to believe that GE would give up the latter. GE has always been known for keeping its logos and trademarks, and they seldom give them up.
Also, I was curious about your comments about GE owning the HMV logo. My impression was that GE never owned that. Or did you mean to say "Nipper", rather than HMV? My impression was always that RCA, HMV, and maybe even Japanese Victor (JVC), may have had separate rights to the Nipper logo.
