Doorda Secures US Patent, for Breakthrough Address-Matching Technology

The Doorda US Patent is strong external validation of our approach and highlights how a small UK technology company can deliver globally significant innovation.

9 JANUARY 2026

A major milestone highlights how a specialised UK technology company is redefining global standards in address accuracy, speed, and reliability. This achievement strengthens the position of the Doorda US Patent as a defining innovation in data engineering and AI-ready address intelligence.

Doorda is excited to announce that our latest U.S. patent—covering a completely new method of high-performance address matching—has now been formally granted under Patent No: 12517876. For a focused UK technology company, this achievement represents far more than technical progress: it proves that home-grown innovation can reshape global expectations for data quality, AI readiness, and intelligent decisioning.

Doorda already uses this patented approach in the UK, helping customers achieve industry-leading address clarity and accuracy. With this patent in place, Doorda is now positioned to extend this capability into new markets as demand grows. We are also actively developing additional internal patents to further protect and strengthen our innovative technology.

The Problem: Address Data Is Still a Mess

Despite countless tools on the market, organisations everywhere still battle the same stubborn issues:

  • No Two Systems Store Addresses the Same Way – Different formats. Different rules. Endless inconsistencies. Result: mismatches, failed joins, and corrupted datasets.
  • Human Error Everywhere – Typos, abbreviations, missing fields — the things humans do naturally completely derail traditional matching tools.
  • Real-World Addresses Are Complicated – Ranged numbers, multi-unit buildings, commercial entities, and local naming quirks routinely confuse existing systems.
  • Duplicate Records Multiply the Chaos – Slight variations create dozens of versions of the same address, polluting databases and breaking identity resolution.
  • Matching at Scale Is Slow and Unreliable – Legacy tools struggle with millions of addresses. Real-time matching? Not a chance.
  • AI Systems Can’t Learn from Dirty Data – Unclean address inputs weaken fraud models, risk engines, logistics optimisation, and customer analytics.

Bottom line: The world still lacks a precise, scalable, AI-ready way to match addresses.
Doorda has built one.

The Solution: A New Model for Global Address Intelligence

Doorda’s newly patented method turns the old approach to address matching on its head.

  • Cleans and Standardises Any Address Format – Misspellings, abbreviations, and formatting inconsistencies are automatically normalised using advanced linguistic rules inspired by NLP.
  • Converts Addresses into Structured, Machine-Readable Components – Every part of an address becomes a unique identifier, producing consistent inputs even when the original data is messy.
  • Matches in Milliseconds Using Patented Lock-Codes – Our lock-code mechanism works like a high-performance search index — enabling lightning-fast matching across massive datasets.
  • Handles the Hard Stuff Better Than Anyone – Ranged numbers, commercial entities, partial matches, and ambiguous structures are all resolved intelligently and consistently.
  • Designed to Merge Multiple Datasets Seamlessly – Perfect for organisations combining data from agencies, partners, suppliers, or international sources.
  • Built for the AI Era – The output is clean, encoded, and structured — exactly what modern AI and ML models need to perform at their best.

In short: Doorda’s patented method solves the accuracy, complexity, and performance problems that hold back both traditional address systems and AI-driven analytics.

Why This Matters

Doorda currently applies this patented approach within the UK, significantly enhancing the accuracy, consistency, and intelligence of our address-based products.

While the technology is not yet deployed internationally, it has been engineered with global applicability in mind. This gives customers confidence that the capability can scale into new regions as infrastructure, datasets, and demand evolve.

Customers benefit from:

  • Higher accuracy even from imperfect inputs
  • Cleaner, more reliable address and customer records
  • Better AI and analytics results, thanks to structured, high-quality data
  • Massive performance gains for batch and real-time operations
  • Improved risk scoring, fraud detection, and identity resolution
  • Future-proof scalability for international expansion

This is UK-built technology already delivering at national scale and ready for global deployment.

A UK Innovator Setting International Standards

The Doorda US Patent is strong external validation of our approach and highlights how a small UK technology company can deliver globally significant innovation.

In addition to this milestone, Doorda is actively working on further internal patents to expand protection around our innovations and reinforce our long-term commitment to groundbreaking technology. These filings strengthen the defensibility and longevity of our address intelligence platform as we prepare for wider international rollout.

This demonstrates that industry-changing innovation doesn’t need to come from the largest global vendors — specialised UK teams can lead the way.

The Future of AI-Ready Address Intelligence Starts Here

Doorda’s patented method isn’t just an upgrade — it represents a new model for how address data can be structured, interpreted, and deployed in an AI-driven world. It supports modern use cases such as:

  • AI-powered risk modelling
  • Advanced routing and logistics optimisation
  • Fraud detection and prevention
  • Supply chain and location intelligence
  • Customer verification and identity resolution

As global demand grows, Doorda is ready to extend these capabilities into new international markets.
