[1] During the fiscal year ended November 1, 2014, $477.3 million of finite-lived intangible assets became fully amortized and, therefore, were removed from the balance sheet.
[2] During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, the Company acquired $52.3 million of intangible assets related to the Company’s acquisition of two businesses. See Note 3, “Acquisitions and Divestitures,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
[3] During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, the Company purchased a perpetual, nonexclusive license to certain patents for $7.8 million.
[4] The patent portfolio license was assigned an estimated useful life that reflects the Company’s consumption of the expected defensive benefits related to this license to certain patents. The method of amortization for the patent portfolio license reflects the Company’s estimate of the pattern in which these expected defensive benefits will be used by the Company and is primarily based on the mix of expiration patterns of the individual patents included in the license.
