Italian term or phrase: Immobilizzazioni immateriali di durata indeterminata

Hello. I am translating financial statements and would like to know if anyone knows of an elegant way to say this in English or if there is a fixed term for it? It appears in one of the headings in the explanatory notes.

Thank you for your help.
