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.
