In a previous paper ([14]) the author showed that a free inverse semigroup is determined by its lattice of inverse subsemigroups, in the sense that for any inverse semigroup T, implies . (In fact, the lattice isomorphism is induced by an isomorphism of upon T.) In this paper the results leading up to that theorem are generalized (from completely semisimple to arbitrary inverse semigroups) and applied to various classes, including simple, fundamental and E-unitary inverse semigroups. In particular it is shown that the free product of two groups in the category of inverse semigroups is determined by its lattice of inverse subsemigroups.
