Answer:
Bates Stamping (also known as Bates Numbering, Bates Branding, Bates Coding or Bates Labeling) is used in the legal, medical, and business fields to place identifying numbers and/or date/time-marks on images and documents as they are being processed, for example, during the discovery stage of preparations for trial or identifying business receipts. This process provides identification, protection, and automatic consecutive numbering of the images being produced.
