NOTE 7 – Intangible Assets
 
The Company’s intangible assets consist of Patents, Patent Pending Applications and Customer Contacts.
 
Provisional patent applications are not amortized until a patent has been granted. Once a patent is granted, the Company will amortize the related costs over the estimated useful life of the patent. If a patent application is denied, then the costs will be expensed at that time.
 
The customer contacts were acquired in a business acquisition on December 31, 2011 (See Note 10) and will be amortized over their estimated useful life of 3 years.
 
The following is a summary of definite-life intangible assets less accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:
