Hungarians have the best understanding of the concept of intellectual property in the European Union, and only 9% of Hungarian consumers tend to be uncertain when it comes to recognising counterfeit products, according to a fresh study by the EU’s intellectual property office EUIPO.
Altogether 83% of Europeans claimed to have a very good or rather good understanding of IP, with that proportion being highest in Hungary and Portugal at 92% each, the study found.
When it comes to online pirated content, 54% of Hungarian consumers said it was acceptable to obtain content from the internet illegally for personal use.
This ratio is highest in Slovakia at 58% and lowest in Denmark at 24%.
According to the study, 12% of Europeans admitted to having used illegal sources to watch sports over the past year.
This was least common in Hungary (6%) and most frequent in Bulgaria (21%) and Greece (20%).
