Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets The following table identifies the activity relating to goodwill by operating segment:
In millions | Balance At December 31, 2015 |  | Additions |  | Currency Translation Adjustments |  | Balance At December 31, 2016
Goodwill |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Americas Data and Analytics | $ | 251 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 251 |
International Data and Analytics | 129 |  |  | 11 |  |  | (1 | ) |  | 139 |
Total goodwill | $ | 380 |  |  | $ | 11 |  |  | $ | (1 | ) |  | $ | 390 |
In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company committed to a plan to exit the marketing applications business, which met the criteria for held for sale and continued to be reported under continuing operations. The business was subsequently sold on July 1, 2016. Not included in the table above is $113 million at December 31, 2015 for goodwill that had been classified as held for sale. See Note 15 for additional disclosures related to the sale of the business and impairment charges recorded for goodwill that had been classified as held for sale. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recorded additional goodwill of $11 million, for an immaterial acquisition that occurred during the period. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill and determined that no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary. The Company reviewed two reporting units in its 2016 goodwill impairment assessment, as both geographic operating segments were considered separate reporting units for purposes of testing. Based on the Company's evaluation and weighting of the events and circumstances that have occurred since the most recent Step 1 test, the Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that each reporting unit's fair value was below its carrying value. Therefore, the Company determined that it was not necessary to perform a Step 1 goodwill impairment test for the reporting units in 2016. Acquired intangible assets were specifically identified when acquired, and are deemed to have finite lives. The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for Teradata’s acquired intangible assets were as follows:
|  |  | December 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015
In millions | Amortization Life (in Years) |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization and Currency Translation Adjustments |  | Gross Carrying Amount |  | Accumulated Amortization and Currency Translation Adjustments
Acquired intangible assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Intellectual property/developed technology | 1 to 7 |  | $ | 71 |  |  | $ | (61 | ) |  | $ | 83 |  |  | $ | (63 | )
Customer relationships | 3 to 10 |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 3 |  |  | (3 | )

In-process research and development | 5 |  | 5 |  |  | (4 | ) |  | 5 |  |  | (3 | )
Total |  |  | $ | 77 |  |  | $ | (66 | ) |  | $ | 92 |  |  | $ | (70 | )
T he gross carrying amount of acquired intangibles was reduced by certain intangible assets previously acquired that became fully amortized and were removed from the balance sheet. Not included in the table above is $44 million at December 31, 2015 for intangible assets that were classified as held for sale. See Note 15 for additional disclosures related to the sale of the business and impairment charges recorded for intangible assets that had been classified as held for sale. The aggregate amortization expense (actual and estimated) for acquired intangible assets for the following periods is:
| Actual |  | For the years ended (estimated)
In millions | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |
