在知識經(jīng)濟時代，知識就是財富。因此，知識產(chǎn)權(quán)是知識經(jīng)濟時代最重要的財產(chǎn)權(quán)，保護知識產(chǎn)權(quán)是這個時代最重要的特征之一。

知識產(chǎn)權(quán)分類：

英國將知識產(chǎn)權(quán)資產(chǎn)劃分為品牌、技術(shù)和藝術(shù)品三大類。

1.品牌-知識產(chǎn)權(quán)

注冊的商標、商標在普通法中的權(quán)利（依據(jù)相關(guān)司法管轄區(qū)內(nèi)的法律而定）、藝術(shù)品在品牌設(shè)計/標識范圍內(nèi)的版權(quán)、設(shè)計權(quán)/注冊的設(shè)計。

2.技術(shù)-知識產(chǎn)權(quán)

與技術(shù)相關(guān)的知識產(chǎn)權(quán)包括：專利、技術(shù)專有知識、設(shè)計、與配方及其他技術(shù)信息相關(guān)的商業(yè)秘密、 植物育種者的權(quán)利、電路設(shè)計權(quán)利、 版權(quán)。

3.藝術(shù)品-知識產(chǎn)權(quán)

從獲益權(quán)利中產(chǎn)生的，比如從如下產(chǎn)生的版稅：包括戲劇等藝術(shù)作品和其他演出作品；書籍、報紙和其他文學(xué)作品；電影、電視和其他視覺媒介以及音樂，包括歌詞（無論是公開的或者已經(jīng)演出的），以及照片、插圖、繪畫等。

就業(yè)前景：

如今知識產(chǎn)權(quán)法是一個創(chuàng)新和創(chuàng)意經(jīng)濟的核心部分，甚至是政府和國際政策的核心。中國同樣需要知識產(chǎn)權(quán)法領(lǐng)域人才，就業(yè)方向：工商局知識產(chǎn)權(quán)部門、法院知識產(chǎn)權(quán)庭、律所、相關(guān)代理機構(gòu)等。
