Alternative Energy and Energy Conservation Patent Exemption<br />
www.mass.gov/doer/programs/renew/renew.htm#taxcred<br />
Massachusetts offers personal and corporate income tax deductions for any income<br />
received from the sale of or royalty income from a patent that is deemed beneficial for<br />
energy conservation or alternative energy development. The patent eligibility is<br />
determined by the Commissioner of Energy Resources. This deduction is unique among<br />
incentives in that it targets patents and not simply real property. <strong>Fuel</strong> cells are eligible.<br />
