Key legal question
Whether a federal appeal under Arts. 29-30 OG is admissible against a purely criminal cantonal judgment in a trademark case.
Extracted holding
No; the remedy under Arts. 29-30 OG applies only to civil judgments of cantonal courts, not to criminal judgments. The trademark act did not create federal appellate jurisdiction over cantonal criminal judgments.
Extracted reasoning
The challenged judgment decided only the penal issue and no civil claims. The cited federal procedural provisions confer federal review only for civil matters. Arts. 18-20 of the trademark act contain substantive and procedural rules but no rule making the Federal Court a higher instance over cantonal criminal judgments in trademark matters.
