Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill is the difference between the purchase price of a company and the fair market value of the acquired company's net identifiable assets. Intangible assets include developed technology, trade names/trademarks and customer relationships. Definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives, ranging from 7-17 years. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment using a fair value approach. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when there are indicators of impairment. Definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
