New members get antitrust damage limit
On January 30, 2025, the Expeditionary Missions Consortium--Crane added many member companies and filed notifications to extend the National Cooperative Research and Production Act's rule that limits antitrust plaintiffs to recovering only actual damages in specified cases. That filing means the newly listed member companies gain the Act's legal protection limiting antitrust damage exposure.
