Acquired technology consists of acquired license rights for patents and know-how obtained from PD-LD, Inc., Motorola and Fujifilm. These intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):
|  | September 30, 2015
PD-LD, Inc. |  | $ | 1,481 |
Motorola |  | 15,909 |
Fujifilm |  | 109,462 |
|  | 126,852 |

Acquired technology, net |  | $ | 74,765 |
Amortization expense for all intangible assets was $2.7 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and $8.2 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Amortization expense is included in the patent costs and amortization of acquired technology expense line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Motorola Patent Acquisition In 2000, the Company entered into a royalty-bearing license agreement with Motorola whereby Motorola granted the Company perpetual license rights to what are now 74 issued U.S. patents relating to Motorola’s OLED technologies, together with foreign counterparts in various countries. These patents will all expire in the U.S. by 2018. On March 9, 2011, the Company purchased these patents from Motorola, including all existing and future claims and causes of action for any infringement of the patents, pursuant to a Patent Purchase Agreement. The Patent Purchase Agreement effectively terminated the Company’s license agreement with Motorola, including any obligation to make royalty payments to Motorola. The technology acquired from Motorola is being amortized over a period of 7.5 years. Fujifilm Patent Acquisition On July 23, 2012, the Company entered into a Patent Sale Agreement (the Agreement) with Fujifilm and prior to closing the transaction, assigned its rights and obligations under the Agreement to UDC Ireland Limited (UDC Ireland), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company formed under the laws of the Republic of Ireland. Under the Agreement, Fujifilm sold more than 1,200 OLED-related patents and patent applications in exchange for a cash payment of $105.0 million, plus costs incurred in connection with the purchase. The transactions contemplated by the Agreement were consummated on July 26, 2012. The Company recorded the $105.0 million plus $4.5 million of costs as acquired technology, which is being amortized over a period of 10 years.
