Patent awards, sometimes called patent plaques, are a kind of trophy companies may give to recognize their in-house inventors. These are usually engraved by some process and my either be a handheld/free-standing trophy or even a wall-hanging plaque.
Another better-known version of these awards is the "Patent Cube" (known to some as the "IP Cube") that Microsoft issues to its inventors. Recipients especially enjoy stacking these awards pyramid-style when they receive more than one or two.
While companies with large IP departments are some of the biggest consumers of these awards, it is not uncommon for individual inventors (or relatives looking for a congratulatory gift) to give/receive them, too.

Difference between patent and patent pending?
A patent is a grant from a patent office, such as the United States Patent Office. "Patent Pending" is a phrase that an application for a patent has been filed and is in some stage in the process of obtaining a patent. Thus, a patent can be presently enforced while a patent that is merely pending is unenforceable but can mature into a patent that can be enforced. Once the pending patent matures, the patent owner can sue for back damages or reasonable royalties starting from the filing date of the patent.
