Goodwill at January 2, 2016, in our Medical Devices reporting unit, is net of a $38,200 accumulated impairment loss. Certain factors, including industry conditions and the future profitability of our business, might have a negative impact on the carrying value of our goodwill and we may incur additional goodwill impairment charges.

The components of intangible assets are as follows:



		January 2, 2016					October 3, 2015
	Weighted- Average Life (years)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Customer-related	11	$	175,569	$	(112,210	)	$	171,779	$	(110,697	)
Program-related	18	74,004		(27,962		)	75,720		(27,463		)
Technology-related	9	72,789		(50,468		)	73,299		(49,723		)

Intangible assets	12	$	354,064	$	(211,016	)	$	351,567	$	(207,844	)

Substantially all acquired intangible assets other than goodwill are being amortized. Customer-related intangible assets primarily consist of customer relationships. Program-related intangible assets consist of long-term programs represented by current contracts and probable follow on work. Technology-related intangible assets primarily consist of technology, patents, intellectual property and software. Marketing-related intangible assets primarily consist of trademarks, trade names and non-compete agreements.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets was $5,811 for the three months ended January 2, 2016 and $6,660 for the three months ended January 3, 2015. Based on acquired intangible assets recorded at January 2, 2016, amortization is expected to be approximately $22,800 in 2016, $19,400 in 2017, $18,000 in 2018, $16,700 in 2019 and $15,300 in 2020.
