(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The notice also lists companies that have withdrawn as parties to the NAMC venture (for example, The Boeing Company (Berkeley, MO) and Apptronik, Inc. (Austin, TX)). Those withdrawn firms are no longer parties to the venture as described in the October 20, 2025 filing.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.
