Types of Intangible Assets
Businesses have many different types of intangible assets. Many of these can be unique to a specific business, making it very hard to compile a comprehensive list of intangible assets. However, some of the more common types include:
- Patents, copyrights and licenses
- Customer lists and relationships
- Non-compete agreements
- Favorable financing
- Software
- Trained and assembled workforces
- Contracts
- Leasehold interests
- Unpatented proprietary technology
- Trademarks/Trade names
Intangible assets such as brands, intellectual property and licenses now comprise a greater percentage of the economic value of successful businesses than ever before. Some economists argue that they represent the main performance drivers in the current transition from a traditional financial economic structure to a new knowledge-based economy.
