Members Gain Limited Antitrust Damages
NAMC filed notifications on October 20, 2025 to extend the National Cooperative Research and Production Act's protection that limits antitrust plaintiffs to recovering actual damages under specified circumstances. If you are a member of NAMC, this notice preserves the Act's limitation on recoverable antitrust damages for parties to the venture.
Specific Companies Added as Members
The notice lists companies that were added as parties to the NAMC venture on the notification filed October 20, 2025. Companies named as added (for example, 10x National Security, LLC (Leesburg, VA) and Viasat, Inc. (Carlsbad, CA)) are now parties to the venture and are covered by the Act's limitations on antitrust damage recovery.
Listed Companies Withdrew From the Venture
The notice also lists companies that have withdrawn as parties to the NAMC venture (for example, The Boeing Company (Berkeley, MO) and Apptronik, Inc. (Austin, TX)). Those withdrawn firms are no longer parties to the venture as described in the October 20, 2025 filing.
Membership Stays Open; More Filings Expected
The notice states that membership in the NAMC research project remains open and that NAMC intends to file additional written notifications disclosing future membership changes. Companies interested in joining can expect future filings to document new members and membership changes.
