What does impairment of intangible assets mean?

This metric represents the reduction in the carrying value of finite-lived intangible assets when their fair value falls below their book value. It indicates that the expected future economic benefits from assets like patents, trademarks, or customer lists have declined. Frequent impairments may suggest poor historical acquisition decisions or rapid technological obsolescence.
