Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL | INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The latest impairment assessment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets was completed in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2011. Future impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will be performed annually in the fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if warranted, as was the case for certain indefinite lived intangible assets in the fiscal second quarter of 2012.

The weighted average amortization periods for patents and trademarks and customer relationships and other intangible assets are 17 years and 23 years, respectively. The amortization expense of amortizable intangible assets for the fiscal six months ended July 1, 2012 was $488 million, and the estimated amortization expense for the five succeeding years approximates $1,340 million, before tax, per year. Amortization expense is included in cost of products sold. Intangible assets and goodwill increased by $12.9 billion and $5.4 billion respectively, related to the Synthes acquisition. The increase in intangible assets was partially offset by $0.9 billion in intangible asset write-downs and a $0.4 billion impairment of purchased in-process research and development. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on Synthes.
