Summary[edit]

Description

The Japanese electrical products company Sony was founded on May 7 1946. The group consists of Sony Corporation (holding and electronics), Sony Computer Entertainment (games), Sony Pictures Entertainment (motion pictures), Sony Music Entertainment (music), Sony/ATV Music Publishing (music publishing), Sony Financial Holdings (financial services) and others.Its founders Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka derived the name from sonus, the Latin word for sound, and also from the English slang word "sonny", since they considered themselves to be "sonny boys", a loan word into Japanese which in the early 1950s connoted smart and presentable young men. The initial name for the group was Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, who were responsible for Japan's first tape recorder, the Type-G.

This file from the New Zealand Patent Office concerns a Phonograph designed by Sony from May 1972. The Patent Office had to approve designs for sale in New Zealand. In 1995 the New Zealand Patent Office came under the control of the Ministry of Commerce and in late 1997 changed its name to the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand. Its functions remained essentially the same.
