We monitor the phases of development of our acquired in-process R&D projects, including the risks associated with further development and the amount and timing of benefits expected to be derived from the completed projects. Incremental costs associated with development are charged to expense as incurred. Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the developed asset once completed. Our in-process R&D projects are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The company did not record any impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company received CE Mark for the E-nside multibranch stent graft system for the endovascular treatment of thoraco-abdominal aneurysms. The company reclassed $7.4 million related to the E-nside European business from in-process R&D and into defined lived intangible assets with a useful life of 20 years.

Based on our experience with similar agreements, we believe that our acquired procurement contracts and agreements have indefinite useful lives, as we expect to continue to renew these contracts for the foreseeable future. We believe that our trademarks have indefinite useful lives as we currently anticipate that these trademarks will contribute to our cash flows indefinitely. 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the value of our goodwill, all of which is related to our Medical Devices segment, is as follows (in thousands):
