   ASC 350-30 governs the accounting for intangible assets other than goodwill — their recognition when acquired individually or in an asset group, the expensing of internally developed intangibles that are not specifically identifiable, and, for all intangibles (including those from a business combination), their subsequent measurement, impairment, presentation, and disclosure. The core rule is that accounting after acquisition turns on useful life: finite-lived intangibles are amortized over their useful life (residual value presumed zero) and tested for impairment under Subtopic 360-10, while indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized and are tested for impairment at least annually by comparing fair value with carrying amount.
