Intangible Assets

5. Intangible Assets

The intangible assets primarily consist of $4.1 million of IPR&D from the acquisition of VisLab S.r.l., or VisLab, in June 2015 and $13.7 million of noncancelable software licenses, net of amortization expense. Acquired IPR&D is capitalized at fair value and the amortization commences upon completion of the underlying projects. Once research and development efforts are completed, the corresponding amount of IPR&D is reclassified as an amortizable purchased intangible asset and is amortized over its estimated useful life. As of January 31, 2020, there was no IPR&D amortized. The Company will determine the project incorporating the VisLab IPR&D to be completed when a related chip begins mass production to address the level 3 and above advanced driving assistance systems markets.

The Company enters into certain internal-use noncancelable software license agreements with third parties from time-to-time. The licenses have been capitalized as intangible assets, and the corresponding future payments have been recorded as liabilities at net present value. As of January 31, 2020, $4.4 million was recorded in accrued and other current liabilities and $8.2 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The carrying amounts of intangible assets as of January 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
