Kaizenman, Shashi Murthy developed the BATON system for Neon Therapeutics back in 2016, and he began applying for the patents years ago. I don’t think this was the manufacturing system that Northwest Bio wanted, since they use the dendritic cells as a therapy. So I think this closed, automated T-cell manufacturing system was a bonus that came with the Flaskworks acquisition, but there are many aspects of it’s culturing process that overlap with the EDEN culturing process of the MicroDEN system that those patents could protect. I’m not sure what their future plans are for the system, but having it patent protected will certainly add value.

There's a couple other posts about the BATON system that provide some background:
