Patent number: 7540420Abstract: A central labeling data (CLD) management system provides centralized management, assembly, and distribution of labeling data for use in generating replacement labels for damaged vehicles. For example, the CLD management system includes a database that stores label data for a plurality of vehicles produced by a plurality of different manufacturers. The CLD management system presents an interface to receive an electronic communication from a client computing device associated with a repair shop. The electronic communication includes a request for label data associated with an original vehicle label. The CLD management system retrieves the requested label data from the database and communicates the label data to an output device for printing a new vehicle label for use by the repair shop.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2007Date of Patent: June 2, 2009Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Mark F. Schulz, Jeffrey R. Janssen, John E. Gozum, Gary L. Asmus
