Gross and net carrying amounts and accumulated amortization may differ from prior periods due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Amortization expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $2.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The estimated annual future amortization expense is $7.8 million, $10.0 million, $9.5 million, $9.0 million and $5.5 million for the remainder of 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

The definite-lived intangible assets are amortized using a fair value methodology that is based on the projected economic use of the related underlying asset. The weighted average amortization period as of March 31, 2016, by intangible asset class, is presented in the table below:



Intangible Asset Class		Weighted Average Amortization Period (Years)
Trademarks and patents		3.6
Technology		4.4

Total definite lived intangible assets		5.1

The indefinite-lived trademark intangible assets were acquired from the acquisition of Curamik. These assets are assessed for impairment annually or if changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.
