Estimated reading time: 2–4 minutes

On June 30, 2025, the OpenGMSL Association filed a notice with the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. This was done under the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 1993.

The Act allows certain groups to work together on research and production. When they file these notices, their risk for some antitrust damages is limited.

The OpenGMSL Association is a group of companies working together. The listed members are:

  • Aptiv, Warren, OH
  • Coilcraft, Cary, IL
  • indie, Aliso Viejo, CA
  • Denso Corporation, Aichi, JAPAN
  • Ethernovia, Inc., San Jose, CA
  • GlobalFoundries U.S. Inc., Malta, NY

  • Analog Devices Inc., Wilmington, MA
  • Granite River Labs, Santa Clara, CA
  • Qualcomm Incorporated, San Diego, CA
  • Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation, Atsugi, JAPAN

The OpenGMSL Association has several goals.

First, it plans to make the GMSL (Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link) technology a worldwide standard. This technology helps send video and data using SerDes transmission.

Second, it will keep GMSL and its versions—GMSL2 and GMSL3—compatible for easier use.

Third, it wants to keep making GMSL better to support video and data link markets around the world.

Fourth, it may use these technologies in other industries if allowed by its Board of Directors.

Fifth, it will do other actions that help with these goals.

Membership in the OpenGMSL Association is still open. The Association will report changes in members as needed.

This notice was provided by Suzanne Morris, Deputy Director of Civil Enforcement Operations, Antitrust Division.

The record was published in the Federal Register on August 13, 2025.
