Activision Blizzard: Gross Value of Intangible Assets in 2021

"Intangible assets" are assets that have significant value but no physical presence and provide long-term financial value to a company. Intangible assets that can be valued, sold separately from other assets, and separated from the corporation are considered identifiable intangible assets. Examples of identifiable intangible assets include intellectual property, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as non-cash government grants, such as broadcasting licenses or airport landing rights. A trademark is a sign that can be used to separate one company's products or services from those of other businesses. Trademarks are protected under intellectual property laws. Intangible assets are capitalized at fair value as of the date of acquisition rather than cost when acquired separately.
