James Brimson in his book Handbook of Process-based Accounting Leveraging Processes to Predict Results published by AICPA discusses putting intangible assets on your internal books at Fair Market Value (FMV).  How you manage an intangible asset that is valued at close to zero is different than managing an asset which could have a fair market value of zero. If the accounting rules won't allow posting intangible assets to FMV for external financial statements, then organizations need to use FMV for their internal statements.
