normally with a product a+b=product. but the method in which i look to make my product is a method to me making many products. my formula is a+b=product(x). my question is can i patent my method as well as the product?
ANSWER
Yes, you would draft the claims to a method and have dependent claims to a particular product made by the method. It could be that the patent office(s) will require that you later divide your application to be directed to each product. But that's an issue you'd have to deal with, if at all, well after your initial filing date.

Dr Patentsteins' Tips
When you think you might have an invention with sales potential, immediately discuss the idea with a registered patent practitioner | Ensure you sketch all significant elements of your invention on paper, writing as much detail and comments regarding its' operation | After creating any descriptions or sketching your invention, ensure a witness (or even two) sign the paper to support your claim |
