Patent C
During 2021, the company had the following transactions and assessments:
Due to the emerging competition relating to the product being manufactured in Patent A, it is expected
that the right will be useful only in 2021 and 2022.
Patent B is believed to be uniquely useful as long as the company retains the right to use it.
On June 1, 2021, the company unsuccessfully attempted to defend its right to Patent C. Legal fees of
P15,000 was incurred in this action. The asset was immediately derecognized in the accounts.
The company's policy is to take full year amortization in the year of acquisition and no amortization in the year
of derecognition using straight-line method.
