Based on legitimacy theory and dynamic capability theory,focusing on the intrinsic mechanism of enterprise digit-al transformation affecting green innovation through the mediating effect of R&D capability,this paper constructs a modera-ting model with a mediator and analyses the moderating effect of intellectual property protection.The results show that:(1)The enhancement of intellectual property protection will exert a negative influence on the positive impact of digital transfor-mation on green innovation.(2)The enhancement of intellectual property protection will demonstrate to strengthen the posi-tive impact of digital transformation on the research and development capabilities of enterprises,thereby positively modera-ting the mediating role of R&D capabilities.(3)The moderating effect of intellectual property protection on the impact of digital transformation on green innovation is significantly heterogeneous across cities and industries.In regions with more ro-bust intellectual property rights(IPR)protection,IPR protection have a positive moderating effect on enterprises'digital transformation and R&D capabilities.This effect is more pronounced in non-high-tech enterprises.Additionally,IPR protection exerts a significant influence on enterprises'R&D capabilities and green innovation activities,particularly within industries that are subject to substantial financing constraints.
