The U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division published a notice that OpenJS Foundation filed updated membership notifications on March 5, 2026 under the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993. The filing adds Socket, located in Stanford, California, as a new member to the collaborative research venture. This extends the Act's antitrust protections that limit plaintiff recovery to actual damages under specified conditions. No other changes were made to the group's membership or planned activities. Membership remains open, and the foundation will continue filing notifications for future changes. The original notification was filed in 2015, with the most recent prior update in December 2025.
