Schedule of finite-lived intangible assets
Amortization is recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The amortization periods of finite-lived intangible assets are re-evaluated periodically when facts and
circumstances indicate that the remaining useful lives may have changed. Indefinite-lived trade names and trademarks are not amortized. The estimated useful lives of the Company's intangible assets are as follows:
AssetRate / term
Trade names and trademarks
2 - 15 years or indefinite-lived
Customer relationships
6 - 20 years
Software and technology assets
3 - 7 years
