Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset. All other intangible assets with finite useful lives are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

The following table sets forth the gross amount and accumulated amortization of the Company's intangible assets at September 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013:
