Q. HOW DO I CARE FOR MY PLAQUE?
A. Your award is finely crafted for indoor display, and with proper care, will maintain its beauty for many years. The metal plate will not change over time, and the wood is sealed to prevent moisture damage. As with any wood product, you may notice a small change in color over the years. Darker woods tend to get lighter, and lighter color woods tend to get darker. Dust your Award using a soft cloth with no cleaner of any type. This will prevent discolorations and/or scratches on the surface. Do not display in direct sunlight or near extrememly bright light to prevent fading of the wood.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?
A. We guarantee every product to be free of defects or it will be replaced at no charge. Notify us within 30 days of receipt of your order if you notice any defects or damages from shipping. These items must be returned to us in their original packaging, by an insured shipper and we will have a new item made and sent to you.

A. The United States Patent and Trademark Office issues a list of granted patents each week. We retrieve this list and notify the inventors.
Q. HOW DO I SUBMIT ARTWORK FOR MY PATENT OR TRADEMARK PLAQUE?
A. We obtain drawings from the U.S. Patent Office using the Patent or Trademark number in your order. Sometimes the quality of the art is not acceptable for reproduction.
