There are more than 250 hop cultivars commercialized in the world, of which about 50 are "protected" by a Varietal Variety Certificate or Patent.
These are cultivars resulting from a varietal research program funded by growers or private companies.
Production licences may be obtained by professional hop growers if they comply with more or less strict specifications. This is the case in particular for the Alsatian varieties Mistral, Aramis or Triskel, for which licences are issued by the Comptoir Agricole, in return for royalties per kg of dry hops produced.
