Purchased intangibles include a purchased trade name of $0.9 million with an indefinite life as the Company expects to generate cash flows related to this asset indefinitely. Consequently, this trade name is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment annually or sooner when indicators of potential impairment exist.

The following table summarizes the amortization expenses recorded in the following periods (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2015		March 31, 2014
Amortization of purchased intangibles in revenues	$	19	$	19
Amortization of purchased intangibles in cost of product revenues		657		841
Amortization of purchased intangibles in operating expenses		2,417		2,492
Total amortization expenses of purchased intangibles	$	3,093	$	3,352

Amortization of purchased intangibles is not allocated to the Company’s segments.

The estimated future amortization expense as of March 31, 2015 is as follows (in thousands):

Year ending December 31,	Amount
Remainder of 2015	$	7,403
2016		8,484
2017		4,669
Total	$	20,556

In the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company capitalized approximately $0.7 million and $1.1 million of software development costs, respectively, for internally developed software products to be marketed and sold to customers after the point that technological feasibility has been reached and before the products are available for general release. The capitalized costs are being amortized over the estimated product useful life, generally three years, beginning when the products are available for general release. Management expects that the capitalized software development costs are recoverable from future gross profits generated by these products and services.
