In this article, Lindzee Barrera, a former Division I golfer and founder of Birdie Girl, offers valuable advice to female entrepreneurs facing intellectual property (IP) litigation. She emphasizes the importance of understanding one's rights and not succumbing to intimidation from larger competitors. Barrera shares her experience of relying on her network for guidance and encourages others to support fellow female founders in similar situations. The commentary adds perspective from Gaston Kroub, highlighting the significance of leveraging trusted advisors during business crises.
First and foremost, know your rights and don't let anyone intimidate you out of what's rightfully yours. It can feel extremely overwhelming when you're up against a bigger or more aggressive opponent.
Build a strong legal team, but also tap into your network for insights... Whenever possible, pay it forward by supporting others who may find themselves in a similar position.
When confronted with an unplanned business crisis, it is important to lean on trusted advisors, including with respect to the selection and engagement of the right outside counsel.
Lindzee's company is in very good hands with her litigation team. I am sure that she will live up to her suggestion of paying good advice forward to other founders once she has put this dispute behind her.
