The covenant not to compete relates to assets acquired in conjunction with a business acquisition. The covenant not to compete and related accumulated amortization were retired during the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Patent-related costs consist of legal fees incurred in connection with both patent applications and a patent issuance, and will be amortized over the estimated life of the product(s) that is or will be utilizing the technology, or expensed immediately in the event the patent office denies the issuance of the patent. Since we do not know when, or if, our patent applications will be issued, the future amortization expense is not predictable.
