Arbitrator confirms Matthews' right to sell DBE technology; denies Tesla's broad injunction
MATTHEWS INTERNATIONAL CORP
- Arbitrator's Feb 13, 2026 interim decision denies Tesla's requests for broad injunctive relief against Matthews.
- Narrow injunction restricts use of certain parts; Matthews has replacement parts and expects no material impact.
- Matthews reaffirms ability to develop, produce, and sell proprietary DBE solutions to third parties.
- Matthews cites multiple US patents (e.g., US12136727, US12237494) protecting its DBE technology.
