The average result in the world is 5.73 points. Finland holds the first place in the ranking with 8.65 points. The lowest scores for Bulgaria are still in the fields of legal and political environment (4.9 points) because of the weaknesses of the judiciary and corruption. The protection of intellectual property rights is assessed with 5.9 points, which shows that there was no adequate protection of copyright, the IME commented.
