Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment for the years ended July 31, 2018 and 2017, were as follows:
| IDS |  | WPS |  | Total
Balance as of July 31, 2016 | $ | 384,529 |  |  | $ | 45,342 |  |  | $ | 429,871 |
Translation adjustments | 4,845 |  |  | 2,981 |  |  | 7,826 |

Balance as of July 31, 2018 | $ | 385,524 |  |  | $ | 34,291 |  |  | $ | 419,815 |
Goodwill at July 31, 2018 and 2017, is net of $118,637 and $209,392 of accumulated impairment losses within the IDS and WPS segments, respectively, for a total of $328,029. There were no impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2018. The decrease of $17,882 in the carrying amount of goodwill as of July 31, 2018, compared to July 31, 2017, was primarily due to the sale of our Runelandhs business within the WPS segment in May 2018 and the effect of currency fluctuations during the fiscal year. The annual impairment testing performed on May 1, 2018, in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (“Step One”) indicated that all of the reporting units with remaining goodwill (IDS Americas & Europe, People ID, and WPS Europe) passed Step One of the goodwill impairment test as each had a fair value substantially in excess of its carrying value. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets include patents, tradenames, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and other intangible assets with finite lives being amortized in accordance with the accounting guidance for other intangible assets. The net book value of these assets was as follows:
| July 31, 2018 |  | July 31, 2017
| Weighted Average Amortization Period (Years) |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Book Value |  | Weighted Average Amortization Period (Years) |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Book Value
Amortized other intangible assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Patents | 5 |  | $ | 1,448 |  |  | $ | (942 | ) |  | $ | 506 |  |  | 5 |  | $ | 1,358 |  |  | $ | (471 | ) |  | $ | 887 |
Tradenames and other | 9 |  | 4,497 |  |  | (4,395 | ) |  | 102 |  |  | 9 |  | 4,528 |  |  | (4,229 | ) |  | 299 |
Customer relationships | 9 |  | 55,999 |  |  | (33,535 | ) |  | 22,464 |  |  | 8 |  | 60,759 |  |  | (31,909 | ) |  | 28,850 |
Unamortized other intangible assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Tradenames | N/A |  | 19,516 |  |  | — |  |  | 19,516 |  |  | N/A |  | 23,040 |  |  | — |  |  | 23,040 |
Total |  |  | $ | 81,460 |  |  | $ | (38,872 | ) |  | $ | 42,588 |  |  |  |  | $ | 89,685 |  |  | $ | (36,609 | ) |  | $ | 53,076 |
The decrease in the gross carrying amount of other intangible assets as of July 31, 2018, compared to July 31, 2017, was primarily due to the elimination of $7,360 in certain intangible assets related to the sale of the Runelandhs business in the year ended July 31, 2018. The remaining decrease was due to the effect of currency translations during the fiscal year. Amortization expense on intangible assets during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 was $6,433, $7,113 and $9,056, respectively. Amortization expense over each of the next five fiscal years is projected to be $5,724, $5,198, $5,157, $5,009 and $2,025 for the fiscal years ending July 31, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively.
