Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to enrich students’ learning experiences by integrating “Experiential Learning Methods” with “Green Patent Strategies”. This study categorizes experiential learning into four distinct modules, each systematically analyzed with the inclusion of four variables. These modules comprise Module 1: Reflective Observation, focusing on the “Corporate Sustainability Policy” variable; Module 2: Abstract Conceptualization, centering on the “Business Model Analysis” variable; Module 3: Active Experimentation, emphasizing the “Patent Strategy Layout” variable; and Module 4: Concrete Experience, delving into the “Case Analysis” variable. Within the “Patent Strategy Layout” module, additional depth is provided through subtopics such as “Green Patents”, “Keywords for Patent Application Writing”, “Zero-Carbon Patent Search Technology”, and “Enterprise Detection and Operation Analysis”, contributing to the thoroughness of the research analysis. The survey results indicate that students have attained a lucid understanding of sustainability-related subjects, including “Business Model Analysis”, “Corporate Sustainability Policy”, and “Patent Strategy Deployment”. Practical exercises have further elevated their comprehension of green patent strategies. The overarching goal of this study is to stimulate inspiration for future curriculum designs that seamlessly integrate sustainability elements, fostering interdisciplinary learning opportunities for students within the framework of sustainable education.
