The agreement gives the USB-IF control over the testing, development and management of all removable notebook card formats, the PCMCIA control, including ExpressCard, and the legacy CardBus and PC Card format.

The handover should take place before the end of March and is in the PCMCIA their solution, if the transfer is complete result.

It is not clear what happen with those implementations that rely on secure PCI Express to Express card, however.
