Amortization expense

Our trade name is an indefinite-lived intangible assets. During development, in-process research and development (IPR&D) is not subject to amortization and is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value to its carrying amount. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Once an IPR&D project is complete, it becomes a definite long-lived intangible asset and is evaluated for impairment in accordance with our policy for long-lived assets.

Accumulated amortization for acquired technology and customer relationships was $64.5 million and $34.4 million, respectively, as of April 1, 2016, and $39.4 million and $12.8 million, respectively, as of April 3, 2015.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, we made a strategic decision to exit the product line and end programs associated with our GaN-on Silicon Carbide license and technology transfer to focus on development of our GaN-on-Silicon efforts. As a result of this strategic decision, we determined that the intangible assets and contractual commitments under the long term technology licensing and transfer agreement signed in July 2013, as well as certain dedicated fixed assets and inventory, would no longer have any future benefit. The associated charges incurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was $13.0 million which included a write-off of $10.1 million of intangible assets, $0.6 million of fixed assets, $0.3 million of contractual commitments and $2.0 million of inventory.
