USB-IF Logo License

USB-IF Logo Trademark License Agreement and Usage Guidelines


Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a huge success! It's on billions of PCs worldwide today, and USB-based peripherals are everywhere. Because of its ease of use, speed, and expandability, USB is the preferred PC connection for many consumers.

In order to realize this opportunity, USB products must continue to enhance the consumers' experience through high quality and ease of use. That's why USB Implementers Forum, Inc. introduced trademark-protected logos for use with qualified products. To qualify for the right to display the certified USB logo in conjunction with a product, the product must pass USB-IF compliance testing for product quality.

THE USB-IF LOGOS MAY BE USED ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH PRODUCTS WHICH HAVE PASSED USB-IF COMPLIANCE TESTING AND ARE CURRENTLY ON THE INTEGRATORS LIST. THIS REQUIRES THAT THE COMPANY BE ASSIGNED A USB VENDOR ID NUMBER.
