This is good play by MYEC (probably coincidence though).
By going after a fellow small company on patent infringement, the chances of winning will be higher than if MYEC sued some big name company. If MYEC wins the case on Zipmark, it gives precendence for the defense of MYEC's patent.
Make no mistake. Money is worth more than life! Whether they want to or not, people use up most of their lives for money. In other words, they are eroding their own existence and lives for just that!
