 (1) The Federal Circuit Court has jurisdiction with respect to matters in which actions may, under this Part, be begun in the Federal Circuit Court.
Note: A matter may also be transferred to the Federal Circuit Court from the Federal Court: see section 32AB of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976.
 (2) That jurisdiction is exclusive of the jurisdiction of all other courts, other than the jurisdiction of:
 (a) the Federal Court under subsection 56(2) of this Act; and
 (b) the High Court under section 75 of the Constitution.
 (3) The relief that the Federal Circuit Court may grant in an action or proceeding for infringement of PBR includes an injunction (subject to such terms, if any, as the Federal Circuit Court thinks fit) and, at the option of the plaintiff, either damages or an account of profits.
 (4) The regulations may make provision in relation to the practice and procedure of the Federal Circuit Court in actions under this Act, including provision prescribing the time within which any action may be begun, or any other act or thing may be done, and providing for the extension of any such time.
 (5) Subsection (4) does not limit the power of the Judges of the Federal Circuit Court, or a majority of them, to make Rules of Court under section 81 of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia Act 1999 that are consistent with the regulations referred to in that subsection.
