As there is no established UA sponsorship process for intercontinental routes LH is not obliged to accept sponsored or third party SWU's on flights operated by LH.
I hops this addresses any issues surrounding the sponsorship or transferability of the SWU's

This is completely unacceptable and if you think this "lays this issue to rest", you have absolutely no understanding of legal obligations or proper customer service.
Your statement is so absurd that it would be comical if it were not such an insult to us as LH's customers.
