Federal law — U.S. Code and appendices · legal_authorities
Anyone who in the United States engages in direct or indirect practice before the Office of Plant Variety Protection while suspended or excluded under [section 2356 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title7-section2356&num=0&edition=prelim), or without being admitted to practice before the Office, shall be liable in a civil action for the return of all money received, and for compensation for damage done by such person and also may be enjoined from such practice. However, there shall be no liability for damage if such person establishes that the work was done competently and without negligence. This section does not apply to anyone who, without a claim of self-sufficiency, works under the supervision of another who stands admitted and is the responsible party; or to anyone who establishes that the person acted only on behalf of any employer by whom the person was regularly employed.

TITLE 7—AGRICULTURE
§ 2355
things shall apply to contested cases in the
Plant Variety Protection Office insofar as con-
sistent with such regulations.
(b) Every witness subpoenaed or testifying
shall be allowed the fees and traveling expenses
allowed to witnesses attending the United
States district courts.
(c) A judge of a court whose clerk issued a sub-
poena may enforce obedience to the process or
punish disobedience as in other like cases, on
proof that a witness, served with such subpoena,
neglected or refused to appear or to testify. No
witness shall be deemed guilty of contempt for
disobeying such subpoena unless the fees and
traveling expenses of the witness in going to,
and returning from, one day’s attendance at the
place of examination, are paid or tendered the
witness at the time of the service of the sub-
poena; nor for refusing to disclose any secret
matter except upon appropriate order of the
court which issued the subpoena or of the Sec-
retary.

1544; Pub. L. 103–349, § 13(d), Oct. 6, 1994, 108 Stat.
