MMW, The engineers of ASND still have thousands of options to vest over the next 2-3 years at prices that they NEVER would have had had they remained ASND. IP is a major focus for LU. Your statement that ASND will not be a big help to LU shows how uninformed you are in the space that LU is chasing. Keep in mind that 1/2 of ASND is on the east coast. To LU, this is the most important piece. The CSCC products have accounted for the majority of profits over the last 1.5 years. There is an excellent engineering team that continues to backfill itself as the CSCC founders retire or move to new start-ups for LU to buy later. LU will definitely hold their own in the data space.
