Resumo

The case concerned patent-related claims involving automatic distributions based on games. The Tribunal administratif held that it lacked competence to deal with the matter and therefore did not examine the merits. The only express legal basis mentioned is Art. 8 LTA.

Regest

Art. 8 LTA; competence of the administrative court in patent matters concerning automatic game-based distributions. The court must examine ex officio whether it has jurisdiction. Where the applicable rule excludes administrative-court competence for the category of dispute at issue, the case is not entered into and the merits remain unexamined. The absence of competence leads to inadmissibility rather than a substantive dismissal of the claim.
