What is a do not copy security key ?

Restricted keys are keys that are restricted by patent and are made using a registered design. The design is registered and has a patent attached to the complex shape and lock mechanisms that make the lock operate.

Duplicating the same or the mechanisms of the lock and key will be in breach of copyright laws in Australia. The registered design is most of the time registered around the world as well.
