It is marketed as a so-called club variety - that is, the rights are held by a tree nursery and other growers have to pay license fees. In some cases it is marketed under the brand name Antares .
Dalinbel emerged from a joint breeding program between the Davodeau-Ligonnière tree nursery and INRA Angers. Plant variety protection has existed since 2002.
