| Popis: | Hops (Humulus lupulus) are used in brewing industries worldwide. Regarding hop-related intellectual property (IP), cultivars can be protected under Plant Breeders’ Rights and as plant patents (USA). Hop growing areas can be granted Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) or Protected Geographic Indication (PGI). Harvested and benefited hops can be traded as registered and trademarked products. We searched for registered cultivars in the top hop producing countries and Brazil to evaluate how IP protection is achieved in each IP modalities, considering territoriality and variety distinction. Botanic data is now being supplemented with chemical and agronomic data to further differentiate varieties. |
