I am also wondering how can they enforce small manufactures just slapping these logos everywhere? It is unlikely the organisation is going to achieve anything by trying to sue small Chinese producers.
- bradfa 5y agoI expect the USB organization can sue Amazon and other vendors for allowing these kinds of products to be sold if they're illegitimately using the logo. I'm not fully versed on copyright or trademark law but I believe that's what would apply to the improper use of this logo on a product.
- PeterisP 5y agoI believe the standard approach for misuse of such logos is to treat them as counterfeit goods (e.g. fake Gucci bags) which has an established process of seizing the goods at customs or distributor's warehouses and often destroying them. There's no need to sue the overseas producer specifically, as any distributor or retailer are also liable; and in general there's no need to sue as a cease&desist (to the local reseller within the reach of any penalty if they don't comply) is generally sufficient.
