In which court can be appeal a trademark and copyright case?
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).

What is the job of a court of appeal?
There are different levels of courts. In most states, the primary state-level court is the "Superior Court" of each county. It can be called other things, though, depending on the state. The next-higher court in most states is the state Supreme Court. Some states, though, have some kind of appellate court in between. At the federal level, it's similar. There are US District Courts, and then Federal Courts of Appeals (appellate courts) just above them, and then the US Supreme Court above them. In both cases, the appellate court (the "appeals court") is tasked with the responsibility of reviewing the lower court's ruling and determining if the law was properly followed. If the lower court made a mistake (called "judicial error"), and if said judicial error was sufficiently important that it could have influenced the outcome of the case, then the appeals court will rule that the lower court made a mistake and that the case needs to be retried, or some part of it needs to be re-heard, or whatever is the appellate court's ruling. If the losing party doesn't agree with the appellate court's ruling, then it can appeal to the next-higher court: The Supreme Court. The Federal Court system is not a super appellate court for state court appeals. No state court rulings are ever appealed to the Federal District Court or Courts of Appeals. In the event a federal question (that is one involving federal law or the U. S. Constitution) is raised in a state court, the appeal process goes through the usual state court system. If a party disagrees with the State Supreme Court's interpretation of the federal question, the State Supreme Court's ruling may be appealed to the United States Supreme Court provided the US Supreme Court issues a writ of certiorari and agrees to hear the case. If the cases started out in the Federal District Court (because it was a federal, and not a state case), then the Federal Court of Appeals is who reviews it, on appeal, for judicial error; and the US Supreme Court is the next-highest court after that. Once the US Supreme Court rules, then it's over. That's the highest court in the land. There are no more appeals after that.
Can the state Supreme Court over rule the federal Supreme Court?

What is the purpose of the court of appeals?
US courts of appeals are the first level of appeal after the US District Court (the first level in the US.Federal court system). A court of appeals decides appeals from the district court within its circuit , and in some instances from other designated federal courts or administrative agency entities. In the US, there are 13 courts of appeals. All of the courts of appeals also hear appeals from administrative agency decisions. More significantly is the distinction between appeals courts generally, and trial courts. Trial courts, on both the state and federal level, hear and evaluate evidence (testimony and physical evidence), and make decisions about the existence or nonexistence of facts based upon that evidence. Those acts are done either by the presiding judge (in non-jury trials) or by juries (in jury trials). In contrast, appeal courts do not generally reweigh or rehear evidence. Instead, they determine whether the correct law was applied to the facts adduced at trial, and whether that law was applied correctly. If so, cases are generally "affirmed", meaning that the trial court's determination will stand. If not, the case is often "remanded" to the trial court with directions to the trial court to correct one or more actions that it took. That is not to say that the ultimate result of the case will be different, but the trial court will be directed to correct any errors that the appellate court believed it to have made. That's "courts of appeal". They are empowered to review, and if necessary alter, the rulings of lower courts. When someone feels that there has been a miscarriage of justice, they can appeal to a court of appeal. there are 64
