When Zenith lawyers were in the discovery phase of their US patent pooling lawsuits against RCA, they found evidence of RCA executives instructing the Japanese Govt, MITI and various manufactuers on how to set up "dumping" operations in the US. RCA was a very early adopter of badge-engineered products and choose to make money on Japanese patent royalties, rather than sales of goods in the US.

Zenith won the patent lawsuits in the US, but the damages from dumping were much worse. This set is from that early era.
