The best one
Microsoft awards a "patent cube" to all employees whose patent applications are submitted to the US Patent Office and a wooden plaque with a copy of the patent front page when it is granted, a process which usually takes 3-6 years.
I have collect a few patents over the years, not all in the IT business, but this one below is by far the best that I ever wished to have on my shelf. I envisioned what that cube represent more than 10 years ago. I pitched it for years and finally one day in 2007, someone from the sky said "...hey that's a great idea, let's protect it!" - marvelous, I said!
