So, it's designed by Panasonic possibly but with equipment and standards established by Leica.

no Leica equipment... Panasonic is very clear in its text describing Leica involvement
http://panasonic.net/avc/lumix/systemcamera/gms/lens/dg_summilux_25.html

"...LEICA is a registered trademark of Leica Microsystems IR GmbH. SUMMILUX is a registered trademark of Leica Camera AG. The LEICA DG lens is manufactured using measurement instruments and quality assurance systems that have been certified by Leica Camera AG based on the company's quality standards..."

Leica only checked that Panasonic equipment (and only the part of equipment also - related to measurement and QA) is good, but that's it... it is not a Leica designed equipment, it is not a Leica designed lens.
