A method of patent marking products comprises providing digital data identifying one or more patents related to predetermined products in a patent marking sense, and facilitating access to the digital data such that at least the numbers of the one or more related patents can be ascertained. One disclosed execution involves acquiring or developing a patent-product map which correlates product attributes, identifiers or other product data regarding predetermined products with the numbers of patents which relate to the products in a patent marking sense. The map is made available on a remotely accessible patent marking link such that upon accessing the link, patent marking information concerning the predetermined products can be ascertained. The maps are utilized to provide patent numbers correlated with products. In all more than 20 executions of the invention are disclosed. |
