- Definition

The amortization method of a major finite-lived intangible asset class. A major class is composed of intangible assets that can be grouped together because they are similar either by their nature or by their use in the operations of a company. The straight-line method is the preferred amortization method, unless another method better reflects the pattern in which the asset is consumed.
