Group 7 remit: A Policy for SME APP Developers - protect & promote

Submitted by Opus50 on Thu, 2012-06-21 17:11

Based on the one of the Brainstorming questions:

What should such a policy Do to protect Apps developers ?

I propose the following:-

1) Reduce EU Patent Fees for SME's with less than 10 employees
> most Start-Ups only have two !

2) Provide SME's as above with Free Legal Aid in EU to defend their Patents
> we have it for illeged criminals, why not illeged Enterprenures
