In the fourth quarter of 2021, we recognized a $45 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge within our Decorative Architectural Products segment due to competitive market conditions and higher inflationary costs in our lighting business.
Other indefinite-lived intangible assets were $109 million at both December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and principally included registered trademarks. In the first quarter of 2019, we recognized a $9 million impairment charge related to a registered trademark in our Decorative Architectural Products segment due to a change in the long-term net sales projections of lighting products.
We completed our annual impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarters of 2021, 2020 and 2019. There was no impairment of goodwill for any of our reporting units or of our other indefinite-lived intangible assets in any of these years, other than as disclosed above.
H. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Concluded)

The carrying value of our definite-lived intangible assets was $279 million (net of accumulated amortization of $75 million) at December 31, 2021 and $248 million (net of accumulated amortization of $73 million) at December 31, 2020 and principally included customer relationships with a weighted average amortization period of 15 years in both 2021 and 2020. Amortization expense, including discontinued operations, related to the definite-lived intangible assets was $31 million, $24 million and $23 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in our definite-lived intangible assets is primarily a result of our acquisitions of Steamist and ESS.
At December 31, 2021, amortization expense related to the definite-lived intangible assets during each of the next five years will be as follows: 2022 – $30 million; 2023 – $29 million; 2024 – $28 million, 2025 – $23 million and 2026 – $22 million
