Note 8 - Intangible Assets

 

In connection with our previous acquisitions and purchases of certain intellectual property assets, we have recorded identifiable intangible assets related to existing technology, customer relationships, and trade name / trademarks. We amortize the intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 7 to 10 years. Additionally, we have entered into license agreements for third-party technology and recorded them as intangible assets. These licenses are being amortized to Research and development expense over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 10 years. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we licensed certain third-party technology under an agreement valued at $16.1 million, and we have determined that this license has a useful life of 10 years. On our Consolidated Balance Sheets at July 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, Intangible assets, net are shown net of accumulated amortization of $166.9 million and $165.7 million, respectively.

 

We recorded amortization expense related to intangible assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as presented in the following table:
