Sum of the gross carrying amounts before accumulated amortization as of the balance sheet date of all finite and indefinite lived intangible assets. The aggregate gross carrying amount (including any previously recognized impairment charges) of a major finite-lived intangible asset 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.
