Key legal question
Whether the Federal Patent Court had jurisdiction over the CHF 62,466,022.85 compensation claim against the Confederation.
Extracted holding
No. That claim concerns state liability under public law, not a private-law patent claim, so the Federal Patent Court lacks jurisdiction.
Extracted reasoning
The alleged damage arose from the Confederation's performance of a public task in operating the LSVA system. A claim against the Confederation for compensation, enrichment, or disgorgement is governed by the federal liability regime, not by private-law rules invoked in the patent action.
