During 2016, we acquired in-process R&D assets of $713 million that were not subject to amortization. All intangible assets acquired during 2015 were not subject to amortization. As of December 31, 2016, the estimated useful life of our acquisition-related brands is six years. The estimated useful life ranges for substantially all other identified intangible assets that are subject to amortization were as follows:
(In Years) |  | Estimated Useful Life Range
Acquisition-related developed technology |  | 4 | – | 9
Acquisition-related customer relationships |  | 6 | – | 12
Licensed technology and patents |  | 2 | – | 17
