It sure is an interesting development. I passed it on as weekly news item for osdc, especially since there was a related post a few weeks ago: http://opensource.com/law/13/6/german-parliament-limits-patents.

It does raise questions though; what about existing patents? And, what about companies, might they relocate, so they can still patent their software?

I haven't been following it as closely as I should have. I hope someone
with more in-depth knowledge about this can make an article about it.
