The Company’s intangible assets are composed of the following as of December 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

December 31, 2014

December 31, 2013

Patents

$  13,023

$  13,564

Technical rights

109,044

113,581

127,145

Accumulated amortization

(33,742)

(28,842)

Intangible assets, net

$   88,325

$   98,303

 

Direct costs incurred in obtaining patents and technical rights are capitalized. These patents and rights are subject to amortization as their lives are statutorily limited in South Korea, typically over the period of twenty years. Accordingly, they are being amortized over the statutory lives. Management considered recoverability of the balances of these assets and determined that no adjustment was necessary as of December 31, 2014.

 

Amortization expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $6,316 and $6,075, respectively.
