Ricoh
"Ricoh" is also the name of a very large (worldwide) manufacturer and distributor of printers, copiers, fax machines, office equipment etc. As juvera points out, it's also the name of a manufacturing and real estate company in Osaka, Japan. In Japanese, the word "Riko" means "cleverness, intelligence, wisdom" and also "skill,aptitude,ability". HTH.

Since you said it\'s a trademark I thought this was a good possibility, the company name IS their trademark, it\'s on everything they sell, make and distribute.

In English, nothing -
- but it may be an allusion to the word "rico", which means "rich" in Spanish and Portuguese. Possibly also in Italian?

I just checked the site www.riko.com - don\'t know if that\'s the one you\'re referring to, but it\'s a Taiwanese company, so it may be a Chinese/Taiwanese word. You may want to post the question under the relevant language pair, if that\'s the case.

Ok, since you mention that it\'s an Italian firm - just checked the Italian word for \"rich\", it\'s \"ricco\" - so the company name \"Riko\" may well be a modified spelling of the Italian word for \"rich\". THat\'s my best guess.

Maybe it has to do with raketeering crime. US law.
Discussion
most probably it has nothing to do with ";www.riko.com " - the same word in different country may be owned as a trademark by fifferent firms
