No similarity in the electronic design of the Marconi 702 and the RCA TRK-12, and the cabinet was designed by John Vassos. So I don't think anything was copied from Marconi.

Though the British were the first to broadcast regular "high definition" programming (because of the government-owned BBC) RCA developed the technology and the British basically copied it. There was some licensing agreement between RCA and EMI that allowed them to use the iconoscope design, which became the Emiscope in Britain.
