NOTE 8 – 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 and were to be amortized over their estimated useful life of three years.

 

The following is a summary of definite-life intangible assets less accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively:
