Elektros Issues Cease-and-Desist to Major Automaker Over EV Charging Patent Infringement
ELEK has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $0.002 on elevated volume (3.0× avg).
Summary
Elektros Inc. announced it issued a cease-and-desist notice on May 5, 2026, to a major global automotive manufacturer for potential infringement of its U.S. Patent No. 12,522,100 B1 for EV charging technology. The company also stated it expects to initiate strategic communications for licensing or acquisition of its patent portfolio.

The 52-week trading range was $0.00 to $0.10. This news item was assessed with positive market sentiment and an importance score of 7 out of 10. Source: ACCESS Newswire.
