A patent plaque is a decorative way to display a patent acknowledgment letter, usually in a glass case surrounded by a frame made of various materials. It is not necessary for a patent and can be customized to individual standards.
A patent plaque is a way to display a patent acknowledgment letter after it is received from the patent office. It is used by inventors and companies to display recognition of their intellectual property. The patent plate is usually a glass case surrounded by a frame made from any one of a variety of materials. In this case, the patent recognition letter is kept, which details the name of the inventor or company, the number and title of the patent, the date of issue and, sometimes, a brief description of the invention. A patent plate is not really necessary for a patent, so the purpose of the plate is largely ornamental.
The most common materials used to make a patent plaque are a selection of woods, metals and artificial materials. Walnut wood is used to create bold, classic-looking frames for patent plaques, often displaying the letter of recognition on top of a colored felt fabric to give the plaque a traditional look. For more sophisticated customers, the sign can be made with a gold or silver plate on which the patent is mounted, with a layer of glass on top to protect it from the elements. Acrylic has also been used to provide a more modern looking patent plaque.
In addition to the standard methods of mounting a patent plate, there is also the option to engrave or engrave the patent on a material instead of using the actual patent acknowledgment letter. To engrave a patent plate, craft companies use a laser to cut the patent into plates of materials such as marble, gold, silver, or steel, among others. Likewise, engravers cut the patent into the material manually, if the customer so desires. Both methods are more expensive and time consuming than simply mounting the acknowledgment letter inside a frame.
The patent plate can be made to individual standards, and many companies offer a complete customization package. This allows customers to define exactly how they would like their patent plate to appear and how they would like it to be read. For example, inventors of detailed mechanical machines have the option of having their design engraved on a plaque to provide an element of uniqueness with each patent they hold. Patent plates are not part of the legal process for applying for a patent; therefore, the potential for customization of the plate is entirely up to the customer. This allows for a variety of materials and styles, as well as having multiple patents on a single board if desired.
