The amortization life for patents ranges between three to five years and trademark lives are set at ten years. The Company does not amortize patents or trademarks classified as pending.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company assessed its patent and trademark assets. The Company also evaluated its strategic approach to the pursuit and protection of its intellectual property. It is the

intent of the Company to continue to pursue intellectual property protection. If the Company identifies certain assets where the intellectual property does not directly align with its core technology, the Company will impair the intangible asset and write-off the asset as an expense.
