“Our [reviewing court’s] case law holds that copying requires evidence of efforts to replicate a specific product, which may be demonstrated through internal company documents, direct evidence such as disassembling a patented prototype, photographing its features, and using the photograph as a blueprint to build a replica, or access to the patented product combined with substantial similarity to the patented product.” Wyers v. Master Lock Co., 616 F.3d 1231, 1246 (Fed. Cir. 2010). Here, Appellants provide declaratory evidence that at least two commercial entities had access to the patented product (and, indeed, negotiated for the product) and later developed a substantially similar product.
