I'm guessing Swiss (err, German).
Heh, nope. Latin. "
Confoederatio Helvetica", used because there are 4 official languages so instead of choosing one of those, they went with Latin. Thanks,

More guessing: One would presume when dealing with international patent law, different countries have their own patent departments and legalities to deal with. Judging from Snowflake's post, Switzerland and Lichtenshtein have some sort of deal where applying through one gives you a legal patent in both.
