Goodwill and Other Intangibles [Abstract]

5 Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The carrying amount of goodwill was $358 million and $350 million at September 27, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. During the nine months ended September 27, 2014, the Company's acquisitions increased goodwill by $12 million (Note 4) and the effect of foreign currency translation decreased goodwill by $4 million.

The Company's intangible assets included in the consolidated balance sheets are detailed as follows (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 27, 2014, the Company acquired $18 million of purchased intangibles as a result of the acquisitions of ULSP and Medimass (Note 4). During the nine months ended September 27, 2014, the effect of foreign currency translation decreased the gross carrying value of intangible assets and accumulated amortization for intangible assets by $31 million and $18 million, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $12 million and $10 million for the three months ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $36 million and $30 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively. The increase in purchased intangibles amortization for both the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014 is primarily due to acquisitions made in 2013 and 2014. Amortization expense for intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $50 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 acquisitions and capitalized software costs related to the launch of new software product platforms. The net carrying value of the new software platforms were approximately $107 million as of September 27, 2014 and are being amortized over ten years.
