Non-standard

Since Powered USB is not ratified by any generally recognized standards setting body but is instead owned by IBM it is actually a non-standard proprietary implementation rather than a standard and so should not be called a "standard".

It is patented and belongs to someone, which would make it a proprietary standard except we have no such article because some consider it a contradiction in terms. Proprietary format would seem to apply unless someone wants to restrict that term to software. Jim.henderson ( talk) 16:06, 10 February 2009 (UTC) reply
It may be patented, and charged a license fee, but it is used by multiple manufacturers and is the dominant standard in a particular specialised application. I'd say it's a de facto standard. 80.101.113.45 ( talk) 15:08, 24 March 2011 (UTC) reply
