The value of intangible assets includes the cost of acquiring patent rights, supporting data, and the expense associated with filing various patent applications in different countries along with granted patents. It also includes acquisition costs related to domains and licenses.

 

The amortization of patent and patent rights with finite life is up to 20 years, commencing from the date of grant or acquisition. The amortization expenses in Fiscal 2024 and 2023 amounted to approximately $74 thousand and $57 thousand, respectively.

 

The Company regularly reviews its intangible assets to determine if any intangible asset is other-than-temporarily impaired, which would require the Company to record an impairment charge in the period and conclude that, as of March 31, 2024, there was no impairment.
