Federal Court of Justice: Green light for software patents - shit. Then we can probably soon bury the German software SMEs. Innovation has never come from the corners of the big stables, but they are the ones who are most likely to push through the patent procedures for their half-baked and only reheated broth. And the patent office will then drown and no longer keep up with the flood, just like in the USA - which will then again harm the actually innovative companies because their - legitimate - patent applications will take even longer.
