Tabular disclosure of amortizable finite-lived intangible assets, in total and by major class, including the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization, and indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization, excluding goodwill, in total and by major class. A major class is composed of intangible assets that can be grouped together because they are similar, either by their nature or by their use in the operations of a company.
