10. On December 31, 2018, Irvins Company acquired the following

intangible assets:

remaining in the legal life. It is anticipated that the
trademark will be renewed in the future, indefinitely,
without problem.
• A patent for P4,000,000. Because of market conditions,
it is expected that the patent will have economic life
for just 5 years, although the remaining legal life is 10
