The court is divided into five adjudicating departments and one administrative department. Departments 1–4 are general departments handling criminal cases, civil cases, and matters. Department 5 is the Patent and Market Court, which is responsible for the areas of intellectual property law, marketing law, and competition law. Judges, patent advisors, court clerks, prosecutors, preparation lawyers, and court administrators work in the adjudicating departments. The court also has a special unit for handling civil cases, a so-called fast track for civil cases. The administrative department is responsible for finance, IT, HR, registration, archives, libraries, communication, security, service, and cleaning.
