<p>In the era of digital transformation, the integration of intellectual property (IP) education with curriculum-based ideological and political education has become a core focus of professional degree education. Taking IP education as the starting point, this paper puts forward an ideological and political path of curriculum concentrating on lifelong learning, practice-driven learning, and international perspective. The curriculum is committed to cultivating high-quality talents with the consciousness of the rule of law, innovation ability, and social responsibility. In response to challenges such as the lack of diverse content, weak integration of practice, and limited international vision in the current IP teaching, this paper innovatively proposes using AI to optimize the teaching mode, build an intelligent and personalized learning platform, and promote the coordinated development of IP education and curriculum-based ideological and political education. The findings of this research suggest that the integration of professional IP education with ideological and political education not only improves teaching quality but also enhances students’ social responsibility and practical ability, which is significant for promoting the overall development of IP education. The paper provides both theoretical foundation and practical guidance for professional degree education in the new era.</p>
