It would be quite stupid for anyone who wants to be in a business, manufacturing a product, to think whether or not a  patent  is required. If you want to establish the fact that you are capable of producing something that is worthy of a patent, just do not think any further. Go out and get yourself one. There is no point in wondering how this can be done. You need to also get in touch with the government authorities. Remember that a sum of money will have to be paid when you apply for a patent for the product that you manufacture at your premises.
