Article 21 states that when the law allows and the circumstances of the case dictate the taking of a judicial decision, independently from the knowledge of one party, the latter has the right to appeal in a judicial way against the decision made. In article 170, seventh paragraph, it is stated that 'as preliminary actions the judge decides, according to the case, the provision of the seizure of the goods or other provisional relief'. Article 173 underlines that, when it is necessary to mention trade, invention secrets, the publication of which would affect interest protected by law, a session behind closed doors is allowed. According to Article 348, disputes which result from patents, trade and service marks, industrial designs, models and any other rights resulting from industrial property, are tried by the section of trade disputes in the court of the district of Tirana.'
