Key legal question
Whether the original product holder should be allowed to participate in the federal appeal proceedings
Extracted holding
No. The suspension itself was not the subject of the original holder’s legal position in this appeal, which concerned only the admissibility of the lower court appeal.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 102 para. 1 BGG, participation is only warranted if needed. The question before the Court was purely procedural and did not affect the original holder’s rights directly.
