R&D Tax Credits: 80% of companies that qualify don’t claim! Every year, companies throw away thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars because of simple misunderstandings surrounding the research and development (R&D) tax credit.

Alaska and the R&D Tax Credit

Alaska does not offer a state-specific Research and Development (R&D) tax credit, which means businesses operating within the state cannot claim a credit against state taxes for qualifying R&D activities. However, Alaska is home to several key industries, including oil and gas, fishing, tourism, mining, and renewable energy, all of which often engage in innovative practices and technological advancements. Despite the lack of a state R&D credit, businesses in these industries may still be eligible to claim the federal R&D tax credit.

Alaska Patent of the Year – 2024/2025

AlertWet LLC has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for their innovation in patient care technology. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12029631, titled ‘Wetness pad assembly, system and method’, introduces a smart, sensor-embedded underpad designed to detect and alert caregivers to incontinence events.

The patented system comprises a breathable polyethylene base layer with two non-overlapping carbon black traces printed in serpentine patterns. These traces are connected to a detachable sensor clip that wirelessly transmits wetness data to a caregiver’s device. This setup allows for real-time monitoring and timely intervention, enhancing patient comfort and hygiene.

Unlike traditional methods that rely on visual checks or manual weighing, AlertWet’s system offers a more efficient and discreet solution. The sensor clip can be programmed to trigger alerts only when a predefined saturation threshold is met, reducing unnecessary notifications and focusing attention where it’s most needed.

This innovation holds significant potential for healthcare settings, particularly in managing patients with limited mobility or sensory impairments. By automating wetness detection, AlertWet’s technology aims to improve patient outcomes and streamline caregiving processes, marking a notable advancement in medical monitoring solutions.
