German parliament petition against software patents
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.

The vote to send the text to the committees was approved by a large majority, including the governing parties. The "Rechtsausschuss (f)" is leading in coordination with:
- A. f. Wirtschaft und Technologie
- A. f. Bildung, Forschung und Technikfolgenabschätzung
- A. f. Kultur und Medien
What can we do?
- Ask Germans to contact members of those committees to support the proposed text?
