| INTANGIBLES | NOTE 7 - 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, 2025, and 2024.
Goodwill is not amortized but ASC 350 require instead that companies test goodwill for impairment at least annually. Goodwill impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount of goodwill (the amount at which it is recorded on the balance sheet) to its fair value. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized.
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.
