This ruling acknowledged Matthews\u2019 extensive, pre-Tesla background in manufacturing advanced Dry Battery Electrode (\u201cDBE\u201d) technology and affirmed that the Company has the right to sell its solutions to customers other than Tesla. Matthews intends to immediately resume marketing, selling and delivering its DBE products to other customers in the growing electric vehicle market, where battery and automobile equipment manufacturers from around the world seek to adopt Matthews\u2019 innovative solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis ruling confirms our rights in this groundbreaking technology and re-establishes what we have been saying for years \u2013 that we have valuable solutions to support the advancement of dry battery electrode technology,\u201d said Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cMatthews has been working in the battery space for over a decade, and we look forward to realizing the value of our DBE solutions and related intellectual property and continuing to innovate within the space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On November\u00a05, 2024, Matthews was awarded U.S. Patent No. 12,136,727 B2 entitled Systems for Manufacturing a Dry Electrode, and Matthews expects this foundational work to lead to further innovations and developments to support the expanding DBE industry.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Background to the Dispute<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>After exhausting efforts to negotiate a resolution to a dispute with its DBE customer Tesla that arose over a year ago, Matthews was forced to seek a declaratory judgment in a binding arbitration regarding Matthews\u2019 rights to continue selling its innovative DBE solutions to others. While this arbitration was ongoing, Tesla initiated duplicative litigation in federal court, vaguely alleging that Matthews had stolen Tesla\u2019s trade secrets, notwithstanding its agreement to arbitrate all such disputes.<\/p>\n<p>Given Tesla\u2019s decision to file a public action against Matthews in June of 2024 and in light of the importance of the arbitrator\u2019s ruling, Matthews is compelled to update the market on this matter.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Matthews International Corporation<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Matthews International Corporation is a global provider of industrial technologies, memorialization products and brand solutions.
