11com7
design & media GmbH: The existence of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) like 11com7 will be at risk because of software patents
We develop and implement web applications based PHP and SQL. For this we have developed our own application framework and the class library ContentGo. We started this project some years ago and use it in our solutions.

For 11com7 software patents would make it impossible to develop web applications economically and in acceptable time. With more than 30.000 patens, which include complete ideas, e.g. the \\\"undo\\\" function, obfuscated in many pages, even now it is impossible to survey the patent jungle. We do not have the financial capabilities to employ patent lawyers doing the required patent checks. In case software patents get legalized, 11com would have to pay for our own self-developed and programmed web application, to a patent owner whose patent had been violated unnoticed.
