Damages Available For Government Breach of CRADA
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 11.24.10
The CFC in D'Andrea Bros. LLC v. U.S. (Nov. 18, 2010) rebuffed the government's argument that the court has no jurisdiction to consider an alleged breach of a no-cost cooperative research and development agreement and to award damages. The court set for trial the contractor's complaint that, when the Marine Corps bad-mouthed the contractor publicly, it breached its good faith duties by frustrating the contractor's ability to market certain trademarks for food items effectively.

California Considering A Massive Expansion of Its Antitrust Laws
Legislative efforts to significantly expand California’s antitrust laws are working their way through the state legislature. The most comprehensive overhaul is Assembly Bill 1776 — the Competition and Opportunity in Markets for a Prosperous, Equitable and Transparent Economy (COMPETE) Act, introduced by Assembly Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, on March 23, 2026. AB 1776 is modeled closely after draft legislation recommended by the California Law Revision Commission (CLRC) in December. AB 1776 would not only significantly expand potential liability for single-firm conduct and monopolization but would also explicitly decouple California antitrust analysis from certain federal standards. Companies doing business in California should pay close attention to AB 1776 because of its potentially dramatic impact, including increased exposure to antitrust litigation and increased compliance costs.
