While Philips marketed its personal care items under the Philishave brand in the rest of the world, the Philadelphia based Philco managed to legally prevent Philips from using its brand name in the USA on the account of the two names being too similar.

​

Philips was forced to brand its electric shavers destined to the US market with a different name and came up with an acronym for North American Philips [electrical] Company: NORELCO
