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.

How would an appeals court respond to a lower courts decision?
Generally speaking, most lower court cases do not reach a court of appeals. One factor is cost. Even if a lawyer is sure a court of appeals will review a case, that may not be a certainty. Then, how the appeals courts will rule is also generally not known. An appeals court may review a lower court's decision and determine that proper, lawful procedures were not taken by the prosecutor and perhaps the lower court case judge made a serious procedural error. The response of the court may be to overturn the case's verdict or confirm the verdict. Also, the appeals court may decide, after a proper review that the case does not meet state standards for a review.
