The equipment can be produced directly without formalities. You need to open a factory. If it is formal, you can apply for industrial and commercial registration. As for your invention, you can apply for a patent. There is a utility model patent. Design patents, etc. If the device you invented already exists and someone has applied for a patent, then you have infringed the law. For details, you can go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Patent Office for consultation, or find a local lawyer
