Summary
The Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Preparedness Consortium (BIOMAP-CONSORTIUM) just added a bunch of new members from the U.S. and around the world to boost their teamwork on biopharmaceutical research.

Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Antitrust Damage Limit Extended
If you are a member of the Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Preparedness Consortium (BIOMAP-CONSORTIUM), the consortium filed notifications on July 24, 2025 that extend the Act's protection limiting antitrust plaintiffs' recovery to actual damages under specified circumstances. That means members to this venture are covered by the Act's narrower damage exposure while participating in the group's research activities.
Multiple New Members Added
BIOMAP-CONSORTIUM added a group of new parties to the venture, including named U.S. and international companies, universities, and research firms (for example: Public Health Vaccines LLC, International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, Matisse Pharmaceuticals B.V., Kansas State University, and others). Those named organizations are now parties to the consortium as of the July 24, 2025 notification.
Membership Open; More Notices Planned
The notice states that membership in BIOMAP-CONSORTIUM remains open and that the consortium intends to file additional written notifications disclosing future membership changes. That means other organizations in this field may join later and receive the same statutory protections once added and notified.
