Intangible Assets Effective December 1, 2015, Regent Technologies, Inc. entered into the Regent-Solar Logic IP Rights Agreement (the “SL Agreement”) with Solar Logic Incorporated (“Solar Logic”) which includes an exclusive license of Solar Logic’s intellectual property (the “SL Intellectual Property License” of “License”) to the Company. Under the Agreement and License, Solar Logic transferred all of its equipment to Regent and granted the exclusive rights to all intellectual property which includes two issued patents and its trade secrets, technology, business and technical information and know-how, databases, and other confidential and proprietary information as well as solar manufacturing processes and protocols. Intangible assets currently include those assets acquired as part of our Solar Logic Acquisition. In the future, this will include our internally-generated intangible assets, which will represent patents on technologies related to our products and production processes. We will record an asset for patents, after the patent has been issued, based on the legal, filing, and other costs incurred to secure them. We amortize intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives beginning with the use of the asset. We estimate the useful life of our intangible assets to be 15 years and the estimated amortization expense to be approximately $307,000 per year. We expect amortization to begin during 2018.
