Device Descriptor:
  bLength 18
  bDescriptorType 1
  bcdUSB 1.10
  bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at Interface level)
  bDeviceSubClass 0
  bDeviceProtocol 0
  bMaxPacketSize0 8
  idVendor 0x1941 Dream Link
  idProduct 0x8021 USB Missile Launcher
  bcdDevice 1.00

  bNumConfigurations 1
  Configuration Descriptor:

etc...

What is the ultimate source of these ids? Is it IEEE or any other body? How could we check - what vendor actually owns 1941?
