Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appeal could be filed with a request for remittal only
Decisione estratta
Yes. Because the Federal Court could not itself decide the merits if it accepted copyright protection, a remittal request was sufficient.
Motivazione estratta
The appeal brief, read with its reasoning, sought first a declaration of copyright protection and then reconsideration of the remaining claims; under settled practice a remittal request suffices in such a situation.
