Intangible assets are non-physical assets that hold significant value for a company, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, and goodwill. These assets do not have a physical form but contribute to future economic benefits. Their valuation and accounting treatment can be complex. Recognizing and measuring intangible assets is crucial for a complete financial picture.
