The decrease in Intangible assets, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 relates to the measurement period adjustments of the acquisition of Baxalta and amortization of intangible assets. For a more detailed description of measurement period adjustments, refer to Note 2, Business Combinations, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the acquisition of Baxalta, the Company acquired IP rights related to currently marketed products of $21,165.0 million, IPR&D assets of $160.0 million and other contract rights of $42.2 million. For a more detailed description of this acquisition, refer to Note 2, Business Combinations, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the acquisition of Dyax on January 22, 2016, the Company acquired IP rights related to currently marketed products of $135.0 million, IPR&D assets of $4,100.0 million and royalty rights of $425.0 million. For a more detailed description of this acquisition, refer to Note 2, Business Combinations, to these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company reviews its amortized intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Unamortized intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances suggest that their carrying value may not be recoverable.

Estimated amortization expense can be affected by various factors including future acquisitions, disposals of product rights, regulatory approval and subsequent amortization of acquired IPR&D projects, foreign exchange movements and the technological advancement and regulatory approval of competitor products. The estimated future amortization of acquired intangible assets for the next five years is expected to be as follows:
