Description
Intangible assets of an organization are the part of its assets which are not in physical form and do not have an obvious physical value.

However, intangible assets can be critical to organization's long-term success or failure and define its future value.
As depicted in Fig 1, intangible assets include human and knowledge assets. In addition, the reputation of the organization, its intellectual property, copyrights, patents, business processes, culture and trade marks are part of its intangible assets.
