A couple of recent threads have dealt with offset, asymmetric, "ergonomic" register keys -- on the Marigaux:

and on the Ridenour Lyrique and TR147:

Here's a photo of the Marigaux key:

A similar key on a Hanson:

I'm curious, have other clarinet makers used a similar design? Does anyone hold a patent on it?
