During the three months ended March 29, 2014, the Company acquired $1 million of purchased intangibles as a result of the acquisition of ULSP (Note 4). Amortization expense for intangible assets was $12 million and $10 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $49 million per year for each of the next five years. The increase in amortization expense in 2014 and for the next five years is due to amortization associated with capitalized software costs related to the launch of new software product platforms. The net carrying value of the new software platform was approximately $113 million as of March 29, 2014 and is being amortized over ten years.
