The patent offices in the entire European union *issues* software patents, but so far only courts in Germany, and to a limited extent the United Kingdom, *upholds* them.
In the rest of the Union, the courts summarily find the patents invalid, as software patents don't meet the legal definition of a patent. Of course the patent trolls know this, and only sues corporations that do business in either Germany or the United Kingdoms...
