Revision as of 15:05, 12 June 2013
On 19 April 2013, the German parliament (the Bundestag) approved the sending of an anti-software-patents "petition" (draft motion) to three parliamentary committees. The three committees will debate this text and propose modifications before returning a final proposal which the parliament will vote on.

- A. f. Wirtschaft und Technologie
- A. f. Bildung, Forschung und Technikfolgenabschätzung
- A. f. Kultur und Medien
