Goodwill And Other Intangible Assets [Abstract]

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the carrying values of our indefinite lived intangible assets were as follows (in thousands):


	June 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
Goodwill	$	187,058	$	188,305
In-process R&D		13,497		13,954
Procurement contracts and agreements		2,013		2,013
Trademarks		841		841

Based on our experience with similar agreements, we believe that our acquired procurement contracts and agreements have indefinite useful lives, as we expect to continue to renew these contracts for the foreseeable future. We believe that our trademarks have indefinite useful lives as we currently anticipate that our trademarks will contribute to our cash flows indefinitely.

We monitor the phases of development of all in-process R&D projects, including the risks associated with further development and the amount and timing of benefits expected to be derived from the completed projects. Incremental costs associated with development are charged to expense as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the developed asset once completed. All in process R&D projects are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 our entire goodwill balance was related to our Medical Devices segment.
