"This patent reflects the depth of knowledge our employees possess and their commitment to developing, expanding and delivering key intellectual property to benefit our clients," said Scott Little, vice president and general manager for CoreLogic Spatial Solutions. "Accurate information is a critical success factor in helping these industries operate efficiently and effectively, and the patented technology provides precision-level insights to help our clients operate productively."

ParcelPoint data provides the exact area and associated latitudes and longitudes that are vital in identifying a property's geographic position, as well as key property owner and tax information. The patent covers the method through which parcel data sets, which are provided through public records in various formats, are acquired from these multiple sources, standardized for consistency, and incorporated into a single database to create uniform parcel information for widespread use.

First launched in 2007, ParcelPoint includes data for more than 127 million digitally converted and normalized parcels and points, including more than 2,000 counties in the United States. This represents approximately 90 percent of the U.S. population and 86 percent of the total land base. When used with the company's PxPoint™ geocoder, a high-precision, parcel-level geocoding and spatial analytic engine, customers can achieve a high level of positional accuracy for any spatial application.  More information about ParcelPoint can be found at www.faspatial.com.
