12. Additional Considerations 12.1 Emerging Issues
extraordinary legal remedy (revision) is always avail - able and is determined by the Supreme Court. 11.2 Timeframes for Appealing Trial Court Decisions An appeal against a first-instance judgment has to be filed within 15 days from the date of receipt of the decision. This deadline cannot be extended. The opposing party is entitled to submit a response to the appeal within 15 days of receipt of the appeal. The duration of appellate proceedings varies depend - ing on the complexity of the case. Although infringe - ment procedures are considered urgent, the appealing process usually lasts up to two years. The revision has to be filed within 30 days of receiving the second- instance decision.
There have been no landmark IP court decisions relat - ing to AI to date; however, forthcoming legislation is expected to address authorship of AI-generated works and liability for AI-related infringement. 12.2 Trade Mark and Copyright Use on the Internet Online service providers may be held liable for trade - mark and copyright infringement, depending on their level of control and reaction to infringing content. The main Serbian online marketplace has a takedown mechanism that enables the removal of infringing list - ings, and in practice responds promptly when notified and provided with evidence of rights. However, most internet sales are not made by registered legal enti - ties but by unregistered traders, which makes it more difficult to prosecute them.
