(1) Unless this Act contains provisions in respect of proceedings before the Federal Patent Court, the Courts Constitution Act and the Code of Civil Procedure apply accordingly if this is not precluded by the special characteristics of the proceedings before the Federal Patent Court.
(2) The decisions of the Federal Patent Court are contestable only insofar as this is permitted under this Act.
(3) Section 31 applies accordingly in respect of the grant of inspection of the files to third persons. The Federal Patent Court decides on the request. Inspection of the files in proceedings for the revocation of a patent is not granted if and insofar as the proprietor of the patent demonstrates an interest meriting protection which precludes this.
(4) Section 227 (3) sentence 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure does not apply.
