•costs related to certain in-licensed technology rights or in-process research and development;

•amortization of patents and related technologies acquired in mergers and acquisitions; and

•facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs and expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and other operating costs.

Our research and development expenses primarily relate to either costs incurred to expand or otherwise improve our technologies or the costs incurred to develop our own products and services.
