Share
OVERLAND PARK, KS / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2025 / Click-Ins, a pioneer in AI-powered vehicle inspection solutions, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has officially granted U.S. Patent No. 12374135B2 for its DamagePrint™ technology - a novel method of creating a unique digital signature of damage from a single image.
Unlike generic "damage detection" patents in the market, Click-Ins' newly granted patent represents deep technology rooted in computer vision, visual intelligence, and criminology, built on nearly a decade of rigorous R&D. The DamagePrint™ system goes beyond detecting dents and scratches - it creates a digital fingerprint of each damage, enabling unmatched precision in matching and comparison across images.
A barrier to competition, a bridge to new industries
- In car rentals and leasing, DamagePrint™ is the only patented technology capable of qualitatively comparing damages between pick-up and drop-off, setting a high barrier for competitors and protecting Click-Ins' position in the space.
- In insurance, matching damage signatures provides a critical tool for fraud prevention and claims accuracy.
- In automotive and logistics, the technology streamlines inspections, lowers costs, and ensures transparency across fleets and dealer networks.
- Looking ahead, the same approach can extend to homeland security, smart cities, forensics, and vehicle re-identification, where DamagePrint™ could digitize and match other unique physical features.
"This patent is much more than legal protection - it validates the strength of our scientific and algorithmic foundation, which is not easily replicated or replaced by the latest wave of generative AI," said Josh Parsons, CEO of Click-Ins. "Just as fingerprints uniquely identify humans in criminology, DamagePrint™ uniquely identifies damage. That uniqueness is what makes this technology transformative."
Covering any camera or image-capturing device - from smartphones to stationary and automated systems - the patent ensures broad applicability across industries while safeguarding Click-Ins' leadership position. The innovation establishes a formidable technological moat and positions Click-Ins at the forefront of digital inspection intelligence.
