The Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC) has updated its membership by adding AIVOT Robotics, Inc., Appili Therapeutics USA, Inc., READDI, Inc., Scorpius BioManufacturing, Inc., Shionogi, and VeriSIM, Inc., while QuickSilver Analytics, Inc. and World Wide Technology, LLC have withdrawn. This change was filed in accordance with the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993, which aims to limit the recovery of antitrust damages. The MCDC's membership remains open, with plans to file further notifications of any changes. The Department of Justice has previously published details of such notifications in the Federal Register.
Simple Explanation
The Medical CBRN Defense Consortium is like a team working to protect against chemical, biological, and other dangers. They've got new team members, like some companies joining, and a couple leaving, and this change helps them work together better under special rules that make sure they don't get in too much trouble if they accidentally break any competition laws.
