Tenth patent builds upon company’s tradition of innovation

LOS ANGELES (December 30, 2013) – Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., the leading provider of credit building and credibility solutions for businesses, today announced issuance of its tenth patent, deepening the company’s reputation for delivering innovative credit and credibility monitoring solutions for businesses and entrepreneurs.  In addition to over 50 domestic and international filed patent applications, the company’s ten issued patents range from innovative credit and scoring solutions to cutting-edge credibility, verification and reputation products. The company’s newest patent enables a business to centrally manage its online credibility through a single interface that collects and displays any posts and/or messaging pertaining to or mentioning the business across various online sites, while also displaying the impact that those posts or messages have on the credibility of the business.  This interface allows the business to respond to these messages in a real-time manner in order to maintain and manage its online credibility.

“The issuance of our tenth patent reinforces our position as an innovative leader in credit and credibility solutions,” said Jeff Stibel, Chairman and CEO of Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. “Despite being founded only a few short years ago, we already have one of the deepest patent suites across our industry. These ten patents and the products that are enabled from them ultimately give our business – and our customers– the ability to do succeed.”

Each of the ten issued and numerous pending patents work hand in hand with Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp.’s goal to help businesses establish and maintain superior business credit and credibility.

Among the issued patents, eight revolve around credit and credibility scoring and management, one is a verification system and one is a social media-based credibility tool.  These patents ultimately deliver the solutions that enable Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp. and its customers to build and monitor creditworthiness and overall credibility.
