If you are copying patented hardware, YES. If however you are making wheels based on a design, that would not be called lawfully breaking the patent, then it would be OK. If you notice, some artists have successfully sued other artists for copyright infringement for similar music. I don't know where the law will draw the line on where building something similar crosses the line. That is a totally different discussion.
