Depends upon what court the action originates in. If a trademark case is brought in state court, a state court of appeals would hear the appeal. If a copyright license case is in state court, same rule. If a copyright or trademark case is in federal court, then a federal circuit court of appeals would hear it.

If it is a case of a trademark registration appeal, it would be taken to the Trademark Trials and Appeals Board and could end up in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC).

Section 700 of the Trademark Trials and Appeals Board Manual deals with trial proceedure and the introduction of evidence.

Leave for appeal is when the trial court gives you permission to appeal. This is common when the issue is not directly appeallable, such as an interlocutory appeal.

Appeal as of right means you do not need permission from the trial court to appeal, and you may simply file your appeal.
