This paper extends results on product varieties of groups to inverse semigroups. We show that if is a variety of groups and any inverse semigroup variety, then is a variety. We give a characterization of the identities ofin terms of the identities of and ofWe show that if does not contain the variety of all groups then it has uncountably many supervarieties. Finally we show that ifis another variety of groups then
