The Consortium for Rare Earth Technologies (CREaTe) has updated its membership list by adding AsterTech LLC from Dayton, Ohio. This change was reported to the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission as required by the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993. The notifications are meant to limit the antitrust plaintiffs' recovery to actual damages when certain conditions are met. CREaTe plans to continue submitting updates about any further changes in membership.
Simple Explanation
The Consortium for Rare Earth Technologies added a new company named AsterTech to their group, and they told important government people about it. This group has rules that help them work together nicely, and they plan to keep everyone updated if more companies join.
