The pattern of the line graph shows an upward trend from 2018 to 2020, but it begins to decline from 2021 to 2022. The rising trend from 2018 to 2020 indicates that the companies analyzed made substantial investments in intangible assets throughout this time period.

The line graph displays a consistent pattern of increase from 2018 to 2020, followed by a decrease from 2021 to 2022. The rising trend observed between 2018 and 2020 reflects a period when the sampled IT firms placed a greater emphasis and investment in intangible assets. During this time, these companies most likely spent more on trademarks, patents, intellectual property, and other intangible categories.The graph's subsequent decrease from 2021 to 2022, however, indicates that this trend is altering which suggests that the sample of IT firms has decided to minimize their investment on intangible assets beginning in 2021 and continuing through 2022.
