2. TR 6

Sony’s “Transistor” series of radios made the word “Transistor” synonymous with radio. Apparently, when Sony came up with the company name, they wanted a word “not existing in any language”. They have apparently even won law-suites which claimed the word existed in some language.

If anyone here is feeling litigious, Sony (Soni) is surely a Punjabi word :)
