"USB" and the various USB logos are trademarks of the USB-IF. I was under the impression that non-compliant products can be sued for trademark infringement by the USB-IF. Sure, they could be sold without the logo, but not being able to put the word "USB" in their product description would make them unsearchable and kill their online sales...



The trouble would be chasing all the cheap manufacturers, distributors, and resellers. It would be rather time consuming and costly.
