What happens if the judges on court of appeals decide a trial was unfair?
Actually a court of appeals cannot decide that. A court of appeals can only decide whether or not the trial court correctly followed procedures and existing legal precedence. It is entirely possible for procedures and legal precedence to be completely unfair (they have been many times) but if the trial court properly followed them, the court of appeals must support the trial court's decision. If the court of appeals decides that the trial court failed to follow procedures and/or existing legal precedent, then the case must be retried in a trial court.
What is one decision that an appeals court can make in a case?

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.

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.

A petition to review the District Court case must be filed giving the legal reasoning and justifications for requesting an Appeals Court review. The Appeals Court will take the appeal under advisement and study the request, and the case, and make a determination if they will accept the case for review, or not. If the Appeals Court decides that there are merits to the petition/request then the case will be reviewed completely for legal and judicial correctness and sufficiency.
