Either a person or company holds patent on objects, such as a 'part'. Even if a part is discontinued, the company or person still holds the patent rights. It would be illegal for anyone to create the part and sell it; it would violate the patent holders' rights. You could be forced to pay thousands to millions in damages and fines.
