Topcon, a global B2B company serving professional entities, faced significant challenges when counterfeit versions of their products broadly emerged in ecommerce globally. With the rapid growth of ecommerce, counterfeiters exploited their brand, leading to an increasing presence of fake products in the market. This situation demanded immediate action against the growing threat of counterfeiting.
Topcon previously dealt with counterfeits internally and with assistance from local investigation firms, but it proved inefficient, causing delays and increased workload. Red Points offered an advanced brand protection solution using AI-driven detection and enforcement rules. This streamlined Topcon’s efforts, automatically addressing over 50% of new infringements, setting Red Points apart from other solutions.
Topcon’s implementation of Red Points’ brand protection solution achieved remarkable results, eliminating on average between 300 to 500 infringements per month with an 89.4% success rate. The estimated value of these infringements reached $22,018,052, reinforcing Topcon’s commitment to genuine products and deterring counterfeiters, creating a safer marketplace for customers.
