My understanding was that Balans has the "rights" to their specific design,
which includes the various angles involved.  I don't own one, but have tried
the balans as well as the imitations, and found the balans to be the most
comfortable.  The one I liked best was not the rocker model, but the one
on wheels that swivels and has adjustable hight.  Seems that having it on 
wheels would make it much better for my little cramped cubicle.  Now if
I could just talk my manager into the idea that it would pay for itself
through my increased productivity...
