Philips claims priority, with application in the Netherlands on May 1, 1952 and US patent applied for April 28, 1953 and this patent took 5 years to be approved in the US.
I suspect that there originally more claims and this potential interference patent could be the reason that RCA dropped their obviously superior I & Q system like a hot potato!
