freiheit.com technologies gmbh is developing software on top of platform independent object-technologies and is with his 30 employees one of the most successful companies within the IT sector in Hamburg, Germany.
Stefan Richter
CEO
Innovation, competition and commercial skills today decide in the IT industry about the success of a company. Germany catches up in big steps with the US. To maintain this speed we have to offer a wide audience of young people the possibility to enter the software market without monopol barriers:
Software companies can be founded today without big investment and programmers create products with high value out of nothing, which is offered to the free market. But software patents offer the possibility for patent trolls and enterprise companies to push small, innovative companies out of the market with unfair behaviour. This brings legal uncertainty, blocks innovation and cost us jobs. Thats why we say: No to software patents!
