Adjustments to trademarks primarily relate to a legal settlement received of $367 and serve to reduce related costs previously capitalized. Adjustments to patent technology primarily relate to the capitalization of legal defense costs associated with the Company’s licensed patents from Brandeis University.  Amortization expense was $1,172 and $2,343 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and $1,016 and $2,033 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  At June 30, 2010, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $130,000 (see footnote 5 for further details).


Based on the Company's amortizable intangible assets as of June 30, 2011, amortization expense is expected to be approximately $2,400 for the remainder of 2011 and range from approximately $4,150 to $4,750 for each of the next five fiscal years.
