Telefunken was a German radio and television manufacturer founded in Berlin in 1903 as a joint venture between Siemens and Halske and the Allgemeine Elektrizitaets-Gesellschaft. Before the First World War it built the first worldwide network of communications, and in Germany in 1934 it was the first in the world to sell electronic televisions using cathode-ray tubes. It was also influential in the making of studio microphones. Siemens sold its half share to AEG in 1941, the two merged into AEG-Telefunken in 1967, and the company collapsed in 1982, when the consumer radio and television arm went to Thomson and the military and aviation arm to Daimler-Benz. Since 2004 the trademark rights belong to a licensing company, which lets other firms use the brand on televisions, audio equipment and other products.
