DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Antitrust Division
Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and
Production Act of 1993--Alliance for OpenUSD Series LLC
Notice is hereby given that, on April 25, 2024, pursuant to section
6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993,
15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Alliance for OpenUSD Series LLC
(``AOUSD'') has filed written notifications simultaneously with the
Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing additions
or changes to its standards development activities. The notifications
were filed for the purpose of extending the Act's provisions limiting
the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified
circumstances. Specifically, AOUSD has formed two additional Working
Groups (``WGs'') in March 2024: a Materials WG and a Geometry WG. The
Materials WG will standardize the description of materials in OpenUSD.
Its initial focus and first deliverable will be the USD Material
Interchange Specification, which will comprise a set of patterns and
BSDF nodes comprising the MaterialX standard libraries. The Geometry WG
will define and evolve the strategy for the description of 3D geometry
in OpenUSD. Its first deliverable will be the USD Transformable 3D
Geometry Specification that will describe the surfaces and volume
representations, spatial transformations, rules of determining primary
visibility, and other properties required for imaging those
representations.
On October 30, 2023, AOUSD filed its original notification pursuant
to section 6(a) of the Act. The Department of Justice published a
notice in the Federal Register pursuant to section 6(b) of the Act on
December 15, 2023 (88 FR 86939).
Suzanne Morris,
Deputy Director, Civil Enforcement Operations, Antitrust Division.
