The decision of the Chamber of Patent Disputes may be further appealed to the IP Court.

Answer ... The Civil Code provides for an administrative appeal process, through which Rospatent’s decision to refuse trademark protection may be appealed to the Chamber of Patent Disputes within four months of the date of dispatch of the decision to the applicant. If the appeal deadline is missed, it may be reinstated within six months, provided that the applicant explains the reasons for the delay.
