The product is developed by Tiger International Japan Limited. Currently over 15 suppliers have been granted the license to produce i-KEY. Each one will compete with one another on quality, price and future features all using the same patented base technology. All are sponsor members of IDDPA, DDPO and Breathalyser.org.

Defending Intellectual Property Rights is our Top Priority. We will defend our patents, design and software copyright vigorously. The key is a product that will affect the lives of people, and for which we have spent a lot of time and resources to develop and test. Imitators do not have the experience gained through the long process of development and research. A lookalike key hence is not in a position to benefit from the many pitfalls encountered during lengthy testing processes. Such imitations will not only affect our investors' ability to recover their investments, it will also erode our continuing R&D resources. It can also be dangerous for the users. Any copied products will affect the confidence of the market and slowdown adoption. Our roads may therefore not be as safe as they should be, and innocent lives would be lost. Hence we will not spare any effort to go after infringements of our intellectual property rights. Currently we have built up a war-chest of $800 million cash which should be sufficient if any such legal battle is to be fought. In the event of further cash requirements for legal proceedings, we have support from our shareholders to raise additional funds to meet this need.
