Briatore last week celebrated the decision of the Tribunal de Grande Instance, which reversed his suspension from motor sport, saying his his "dignity and freedom" had been restored.
New FIA president Jean Todt, however, believes the world governing body has a case against the 59-year-old Italian, who was banned for orchesttrating a deliberate crash at the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix involving Renault driver Nelson Piquet Jr.
A statement from the FIA said: "The president of the FIA has consulted the FIA Senate and the FIA's lawyers about the decision of the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris of 5 January.
"It was unanimously agreed that an appeal would be prepared.
"In his election campaign last summer, FIA president Jean Todt and his team announced new measures for constructive change, including a disciplinary procedure, would be introduced. Work on this is well advanced.
"Once in place, this will address the issues in the Court's judgement. Nonetheless, an appeal is merited.
"While the appeal is under way, the World Motor Sport Council's decision of 21 September 2009 remains in full effect.
"However, in view of the uncertainty this may create for drivers who may be affected by this decision, the FIA president and FIA Senate have decided that, pending the outcome of the FIA's appeal, superlicences will continue to be issued to qualifying drivers in the usual way.
"The FIA president, the FIA Senate, the World Motor Sport Council, and the FIA's member clubs from all countries will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure the continuing integrity and safety of the sport."
