We have only 69 different idVendor but we had 86 different iManufacturer (see the previous article
CCID descriptor statistics: iManufacturer). So the same idVendor is used for different iManufacturer.
As I wrote the in previous blog article the same chip from a "major" smart card reader manufacturer is also used (sold) under unother manufacturer name.
Here is a list of the 69 different idVendor and the iManufacturer used with the given idVendor.
