[1] Other intangible assets are amortized over an appropriate useful life, as determined by management in relation to the other intangible asset characteristics.
[2] All intangibles are reviewed annually for impairment, or sooner if circumstances change.
[3] Technology rights are amortized over a 20-year life or the term of the rights agreement.
