RITEK owns RIDATA and the Traxdata brands. It also includes the major subsidiary U-Tech which produces RFID chips and DVDs.
The RIDATA Trademark is listed on the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) online database and registered under RITEK CORPORATION, No. 42, Kuanfu N. Road, Hsin Chu Industrial Park, Taiwan, Republic of China.[1]
