Announcement on NEC Group’s
Anti-counterfeiting Action

Since its foundation in 1899, NEC has been involved in a wide array of innovations such as various researches and developments of world or nation’s first technologies, and management innovations to realize such technological innovations, aiming to support the creation of a prosperous society. The NEC brand, founded on more than one hundred years of innovation, is a symbol of trust established between our customers and NEC.

However, as a trusted brand, NEC is also susceptible to counterfeiting.

According to the World Customs Organization, due to the manufacture, distribution and sale of counterfeit products, it is estimated that billions of dollars are lost each year in legitimate revenues. This directly impacts legitimate companies through lost sales, profits and ultimately investment, as well as consumers through substandard, and in certain cases life threatening, products.

Recently, counterfeit products bearing NEC trademark have been found in several markets around the world. Since NEC trademark is a registered trademark throughout the world and protection of the NEC brand is of paramount importance to NEC, NEC is taking various measures against such counterfeiting, cooperating with administrative authorities, law enforcement authorities, customs and other organizations, and continue to take a proactive approach toward extermination of counterfeit products bearing NEC trademark.

NEC hopes you will continue to enjoy and be satisfied with NEC products.
