[inserted by Act 11 of 2001 with effect from 27 July, 2001] 25E Remedy for groundless threats of infringement proceedings (1) Where any person, whether or not he is entitled to or interested in any plant breeders rights or an application for the registration of any such rights, threatens another person with proceedings for infringement of plant breeders rights, anyone who is aggrieved by the threat may bring proceedings against him in a court of competent jurisdiction for the relief referred to in subsection (2). (2) In proceedings brought by virtue of subsection (1), the plaintiff or applicant shall be entitled to any one or more of the following remedies— (a) a declaration to the effect that the threats are unjustifiable; (b) an interdict against any continuation of the threats; (c) such damages, if any, as he has sustained in consequence of the threats; unless the defendant or respondent proves that the acts in respect of which he threatened proceedings constitute or, if done, would constitute, an infringement of any registered plant breeders rights, the registration of which is not shown by the plaintiff or applicant to be invalid. (3) The Defendant or respondent in any proceedings brought in terms of subsection (1) may counter-claim for any relief to which he would be entitled in separate proceedings in respect of any infringement by the plaintiff or applicant of the plant breeders rights to which the threats relate. (4) For the avoidance of doubt, it is declared that a mere notification that plant breeders rights are registered does not constitute a threat of proceedings within the meaning of subsection (1).
