05-3 Intangible assets acquired individually or with a group of other assets should be recognized as assets in accordance with Section 350-30-25. Costs of developing internally generated intangible assets should be accounted for in accordance with paragraph 350-30-25-3.
05-4 The accounting for an intangible asset after acquisition depends on its useful life. If that life is indefinite, the intangible asset should not be amortized but should be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with paragraphs 350-30-35-15 through 35-20. If that life is finite, the intangible asset should be amortized in accordance with paragraphs 350-30-35-6 through 35-13 and tested for impairment under the guidance for long-lived assets in Subtopic 360-10.
05-5 This Subtopic also includes guidance on the presentation of intangible assets in the balance sheet, presentation of amortization expense and impairment losses for intangible assets in the income statement, and disclosure of information on intangible assets in the notes to financial statements.
