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.

intangible assets of unspecified duration


Explanation:
I am guessing on the last part of it. Often intangibles are scheduled to amortize over a certain period, so I am unsure how best to convey this other kind in the English, but here is my stab at it anyway!

agree  Grey Drane: ok, but I might reword it to "intangible assets of indefinite (useful) life". it breaks the concept into more managable chunks for the reader.

agree  James (Jim) Davis: or indefinite life, intangible assets. Hi Rosie. Not a big English thing, or not when I was small. November the fifth is the big day, Guy Fawkes, the only person with honest intentions to enter parliament (to blow it up!) as the saying goes.
