Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

The carrying amount of the Company's goodwill was $41.0 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets include the value assigned to completed technology and a trade name acquired with the acquisition of Evolution Robotics, and the value assigned to customer relationships and the reacquired distribution rights acquired with the acquisition of the iRobot-related distribution business of SODC. The estimated useful lives for all of these intangible assets are nine months to thirteen years. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the pattern that the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be utilized.

Intangible assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consisted of the following:
