Best Answer

An intangible asset is one that you cannot physically hold, touch, or store, or sell on the market(usually).

eg. GOODWILL, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARKS

Can you touch a trademark? No, not really. You can't really store it on a shelf next to your lightbulbs, or go and look at it like your buildings..

It's not something that you sell either - unless you are selling your business...

Hence it is intangible.
