The primary purpose of patented high security locks is the prevention of unauthorized key duplication. Contracts,
factory marked blanks, limited distribution, key records controls, and strong utility patents are essential to state-
of-the-art key control.
Fabrication of Peaks Global key blanks by anyone other than Kaba is an infringement of utility patents.
Patent Criteria: A novel mechanical feature on the uncut blank, without which the lock will not operate, is the
critical mechanical requirement for a utility patent to protect against unauthorized key duplication.
The patent number for Peaks Global is 6,983,630.
Kaba Access Control and Kaba Holding AG will bring legal action against any person or persons producing or
contributing to the production of unauthorized Peaks Global keys or key blanks.
