Earlier this month the House passed HR 11, which is a tax bill that includes a provision for a uniform 14 year amortization period for newly acquired intellectual property. This presumably includes software, however protected. It would be nice if commercial software generally did have a 14 year useful life cycle, but most probably doesn't. Has the software community had any meaningful input into this legislation? How do people feel about having to amortize software over such a long period? A. Bickel
