Thank you for your continued patronage of Topcon products.

We have detected that Auto Levels TOPCON “AT-B3/AT-B4” Series and TOPCON “AT-B3A/AT-B4A” Series are being sold on various E-commerce and auction sites. The counterfeit versions are not designed or manufactured by TOPCON Corporation or any of our related companies, and the sites display TOPCON logos, our brand names, and trademarks without our permission. These products also do not meet our quality standards. Consequently, there is a significant risk of causing substantial harm to our customers’ business by using this counterfeit product.

Furthermore, please be advised that TOPCON Corporation will not accept any responsibility for repairs or damages resulting from the use of counterfeit versions of our products. Therefore, we kindly urge you to be cautious when purchasing from e-commerce or auction websites.

Characteristics Of The Identified Counterfeit Products  

Counterfeit Auto Levels: TOPCON AT-B3 / AT-B4 

These models were officially discontinued for manufacturing and selling in 2017 and have since been replaced by new versions, namely TOPCON AT-B3A / AT-B4A. Our investigation has confirmed that the TOPCON AT-B3 / AT-B4 models are not manufactured by TOPCON Corporation and our related companies, and these are clearly counterfeit products infringing our intellectual property rights.
