To lot of company’s unfortunate amazement there are a few ramifications to be weary of when their restricted master-key systems have an expired duplication patent. Restricted high security keys work because it is illegal for locksmiths to duplicate the keys without the relevant written authority. Many companies are unaware that once the patent of the key runs out then the illegal duplication of high security keys can easily occur. This can catch a lot of corporations and businesses unaware until it's too late and they find out via their insurance assessor informing them that their insurance claim is void due to the usage of a restricted key system with an expired patent.
Companies need to be aware and check expiry dates of the restricted key patents to ensure that their restricted high security keys are actually still restricted. At least 50% of a high security key's offered protection is due to the fact that they are not only difficult to duplicate, but also illegal and you'd be very hard pressed finding a locksmith that would consent to duplicating a restricted key with a valid patent.
Corporate entities and businesses can also leave themselves exposed to legal complications and lawsuits should there be any injured parties resulting from a break in which was facilitated by a duplicated restricted key that had an expired patent. If you're responsible for the undertaking of a business's security measures it's simply not worth the risk to continue using an old restricted key system which has an expired patent.
