The increase in the gross carrying amount of customer relationships, intellectual property and non-amortizing trade names as of July 31, 2015 compared to October 31, 2014 principally relates to such intangible assets recognized in connection with the fiscal 2015 acquisitions (see Note 2, Acquisitions). The weighted-average amortization period of the customer relationships and intellectual property acquired during fiscal 2015 is 10 and 12 years, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the nine months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 was $19.7 million and $21.1 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three months ended July 31, 2015 and 2014 was $6.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal 2015 is estimated to be $6.5 million. Amortization expense for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter is estimated to be $25.2 million in fiscal 2016, $24.3 million in fiscal 2017, $22.5 million in fiscal 2018, $20.6 million in fiscal 2019, $18.1 million in fiscal 2020, and $43.2 million thereafter.
