INTANGIBLES

NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLES

 

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded for the 6 months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Amortization of capitalized patent costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at the award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, generally approximating twenty years.

Capitalized patent costs   20   $104,226   $79,179 
Accumulated amortization        (6,346)   3,644

NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLES

 

Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

 

Amortization of capitalized patent costs associated with the application and award of patents in the U.S. and various other countries are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the patents as determined at the award date, which varies depending on the pendency period of the application, generally approximating seventeen years. The current patent application is still in process, and is therefore not yet amortized.
