Summary
This article (Part 3 of a series) examines how Agentic AI is transforming patent strategy and deal economics in 2026.

The piece covers how agentic AI systems autonomously monitor patent landscapes, adjust strategies in real-time, and reshape the economics of transaction risk for investment committees and IP stakeholders.
