Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets is included in Cost of goods sold on our Consolidated Statements of Income and totaled $1.2 billion, $912 million and $844 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
In 2018, we entered into an agreement with Japan Tobacco Inc. (Japan Tobacco) to acquire the rights to market and distribute certain products in our HIV portfolio in Japan. In connection with this agreement, we recorded an intangible asset of $550 million reflecting the estimated fair value of the marketing-related rights acquired from Japan Tobacco. The intangible asset will be amortized over nine years beginning January 1, 2019. The amortization expense will be classified as selling expense and recorded as Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 11, Collaborative Arrangements, for additional information.
In 2018, we concluded that the KITE-585 program did not justify further efforts based on the totality of the clinical data gathered and discontinued the program. As a result, the carrying value of the IPR&D relating to the KITE-585 program was written down to zero and we recorded an impairment charge of $820 million within Research and development expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. No IPR&D impairment charges were recorded in 2017 and $432 million of IPR&D impairment charges were recorded in 2016 within Research and development expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income.
In 2018, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Gadeta B.V. (Gadeta) to develop gamma delta T cell receptor therapies for various cancers. Gadeta is a VIE that we consolidate. Upon consolidation, we recognized a $117 million indefinite-lived intangible asset relating to IPR&D. See Note 11, Collaborative Arrangements, for additional information.
As of December 31, 2018, estimated future amortization expense associated with our finite-lived intangible assets is as follows (in millions):
