Jan.1,2020	Patent	$425,000
	Cash		$425,000
	(Being patent purchased for $425,000)

Dec.21,2020	Amortization expense	$25,000
	Accumulated amortization - Patent		$25,000

2. Patent is amortized over the useful life or legal life, whichever is less. So, this patent will be amortized over 17 years, with annual amortization being $425,000 / 17 = $25,000. Journal entry for same would be a debit to 'amortization expense' and credit to ' accumulated amortization- Patent'
