During the three months ended January 31, 2020, there were no additions to goodwill and there were no additions to other intangible assets. During the three months ended January 31, 2020, the impact of foreign currency translation on other intangible assets was not material.

In general, for United States federal tax purposes, goodwill from asset purchases is deductible, however any goodwill created as part of a stock acquisition is not deductible. 

Each quarter we review the events and circumstances to determine if impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill is indicated. There were no indicators of impairments of indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill during the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $48 million and $29 million for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Future amortization expense related to existing finite-lived purchased intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal year 2020 and for each of the five succeeding fiscal years and thereafter is estimated below:
