Try below rule,

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\d]{4}+)/([\d]{2}+)/([\w-]+)\.html$ index.php?mode=frontend&act=viewArtikel&cat=$1&year=$2&month=$3&link=$4 [L]
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)\.html$ index.php?mode=frontend&act=viewProduct&cat=$1&link=$2 [L]
