Characteristics Of The Identified Counterfeit Products  

Counterfeit Auto Levels: SOKKIA B30 / B40 

These models were officially discontinued for manufacturing and selling in 2017 and have since been replaced by new versions, namely SOKKIA B30A / B40A. Our investigation has confirmed that the SOKKIA B30 / B40 models are not manufactured by TOPCON Corporation or any of our related companies, and these are clearly counterfeit products infringing our intellectual property rights.
