Tesla Files Fresh Lawsuit Against Matthews After Court Defeat

Shivani Kumaresan

February 18, 2025

Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ:MATW) announced on Monday that a U.S. District Court Judge rejected Tesla Inc’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) renewed effort to prevent Matthews from selling its proprietary dry battery electrode (DBE) technology.

This decision, made on February 14, 2025, comes after a series of legal actions taken by Tesla to contest Matthews’ operations involving its DBE solutions.

According to Matthews, the recent court ruling follows an arbitration win in early February that upheld Matthews’ right to sell its DBE technology internationally.

On February 6, 2025, Matthews had already secured a favorable arbitration decision, confirming its ability to continue providing its battery technology to global customers.

Tesla then swiftly filed legal challenges in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, but the court ruled in Matthews’ favor, rejecting Tesla’s request for a temporary restraining order.

Just hours after presenting the motion for a temporary restraining order before Judge Edward Davila in California, Tesla filed yet another lawsuit against Matthews in Federal Court.

Matthews stated that Tesla’s latest complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California is meritless and appears to be nothing more than Tesla’s latest bullying tactic against Matthews.

The company plans to strongly defend its position and pursue additional legal actions against Tesla for what it perceives as wrongful conduct.

Matthews said it developed its DBE solutions more than 25 years ago. The company holds U.S. Patent No. 12,136,727 for the DBE technology.

Matthews began its relationship with Tesla in 2019 as a supplier of manufacturing machinery. Matthews said Tesla approached the company five years ago for engineering solutions and access to the company’s intellectual property and trade secrets.

Price Action: MATW shares closed higher by 3.04% at $25.73 on Friday.
