TM Forum Members' Antitrust Damages Limited

On October 29, 2025, TM Forum filed notifications so that its members (including companies from Austria, Spain, China, the U.S., and other countries) remain covered by the National Cooperative Research and Production Act. That means if someone sues over competition (antitrust) issues related to the Forum's work, they can only seek actual damages rather than larger statutory damages in specified circumstances.
