The bill provides that while a PVR can be infringed during this period, proceedings cannot be commenced until after the grant is made. That is a change from the current Act, under which proceedings can commence during this period. Many submitters expressed concerns at this change, however, the problem with the approach that is in the current Act is that if a PVR is never granted, the defendant may incur considerable costs even though they were not actually infringing a PVR. The fact that proceedings can be taken in relation to infringements during the provisional protection period but only after a PVR is granted is sufficient to protect the breeder's interests. This is the approach taken by our major trading partners, including Australia, the United Kingdom, and the EU.
