That is the slogan for U.S. Patent Certificates, Inc. I know this because I recently received my first patent and they were the first to congratulate me...with an offer to buy a certificate or plaque from them. Not just any plaque either, but one that is “prestigious and will unquestionably satisfy the most regal taste.” I cannot imagine hanging something like that on a wall. What do you say when someone asks who gave it to you. “Ah, well, I did.” Then again, I still have my graduate school diploma in the mailer it came in. I wonder how many other offers of congratulations I will receive from people wanting to sell me a personalized mug, ceramic mug, or a special certificate so that I can congratulate myself.

It turns that my employer purchased a $200 plaque from one of these companies for me. I'm not quite sure what to do with it.
