disagree  Daryo: combined with "a le droit d'entreprendre, de reprendre ou de continuer .." = makes no sense // can't be that kind of "instances".

  -> It covers any other "eventuality" concerning the trademark, patent or model before or after the transfer. Perhaps "matters" would have been a better choice though
disagree  AllegroTrans: With Daryo; look at what immediately follows

matters


Explanation:
After getting two disagrees, I wonder if "matters" would be a better choice.
I remain convinced it's something general that is needed

Par opposition à l'action, qui est le droit qui appartient à une personne de faire valoir une prétention en saisissant la juridiction compétente, l' "instance", est l'appellation donnée au développement procédural découlant de la saisine du juge par la personne qui en a pris l'initiative.

" En première instance " est l'expression utilisée par la pratique judiciaire pour désigner la partie de la phase procédurale qui, en cas d'appel, s'est déroulée avant la saisine de la Cour d'appel. Dans certains jugements on peut lire que la décision a été rendue " en première et dernière instance ", ce qui signifie qu'elle n'est pas susceptible d'appel.

1 hr
  -> thanks
disagree  Adrian MM.: wrong tack - this is plural and voting non-Pro is a bit rich. 'instance: 1. surtout au pluriel 2. Poursuite en justice ; procédure concernant un litige. Introduire une instance.' // 'la partie de la phase procédurale' does NOT mean the 'right to *sue*'
3 hrs
  -> What I have posted clearly means "right to commence legal action"
