ANDES CORPORATION expended 510,000 in research and development costs. These
activities resulted to a new product called the Oido Organ. It was patented at
additional legal and other costs of 54,000. The patent application was filed on
October 1, 2010, and the patent was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years.
On June 1, 2012, Andes spent 28,440 to successfully prosecute a patent
infringement. In addition, the patents estimated useful life was extended to
12years from June 1, 2012. At the beginning of 2014, Andes determined that a
competitors product would make the Oido Organ obsolete and the patent worthless
by December 31, 2015.
