Intellectual property relates to licenses and patents purchased from third parties. During 2012, we acquired intellectual property from third parties for an amount of EUR 7.7 million. Developed technology, customer relationships, in-process R&D and other were obtained in the acquisition of Brion.

During 2012, we recorded amortization charges of EUR 6.1 million (2011: EUR 5.3 million; 2010: EUR 5.5 million) which were recorded in cost of sales for EUR 6.0 million (2011: EUR 5.3 million; 2010: EUR 5.5 million) and in R&D costs for EUR 0.1 million (2011 and 2010: nil).

During 2012, 2011 and 2010, we did not record any impairment charges for other intangible assets.

As at December 31, 2012, estimated amortization expenses relating to other intangible assets for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:
