We capitalize external costs, consisting primarily of legal costs, related to securing our patents and trademarks. Once a patent is granted, we amortize the approved hormone therapy drug candidate patents using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of approximately 20 years, which is the life of intellectual property patents. If the patent is not granted, we write-off any capitalized patent costs at that time. Trademarks are perpetual and are not amortized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we wrote off $584,509 and $78,864, respectively, in costs related to trademarks and patents. As of September 30, 2020, we had 35 issued domestic patents and 35 issued foreign patents, including:
| • | 14 domestic patents and seven foreign patents that relate to BIJUVA as well as three domestic patents that relate to estradiol and progesterone product candidates. These patents establish an important intellectual property foundation and are owned by us. The domestic patents will expire in 2032. The foreign patents will expire no earlier than 2032. In addition, we have pending patent applications relating to BIJUVA in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, and South Korea.
| • | Ten domestic patents (eight utility and two design) and 16 foreign patents (six utility and ten design) that relate to IMVEXXY. These patents establish an important intellectual property foundation for IMVEXXY and are owned by us. The domestic patents will expire in 2032 or 2033. The foreign utility patents will expire no earlier than 2033. The foreign design patents provide protection expiring no earlier than 2025. In certain countries, the foreign design patents provide protection through at least 2037. In addition, we have pending patent applications related to IMVEXXY in the U.S., Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, South Africa, and South Korea.
| • | One domestic utility patent that relates to our topical-cream candidates, which is owned by us. The domestic patent will expire in 2035.
| • | One domestic utility patent and eight foreign patents that relate to our transdermal-patch candidates, which are owned by us. The domestic utility patent will expire in 2032. The foreign patents will expire no earlier than 2033. We have pending patent applications with respect to our transdermal-patch candidates in the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and South Africa.
