What about IDN new gTLDs for Companies?

I do not focus on IDNs because I don't understand them but I recently read this post from Coreile, on the Chinese domain name market: the place to be for any Registry.
If we are already familiar with the .商标 new gTLD, which stands for "trademark" in Chinese*, we are not yet familiar with other IDN new gTLDs related to COMPANIES.
The post mentions three IDN new gTLDs which could have an impact on companies who would forget to secure their domain names in these IDN extensions. The IDNs are:
  1. .公司 (company);
  2. .世界 (world);
  3. .集团 (corporate group).
The 3 extensions were added to out COMPANY new gTLD report, which is sent each Tuesday in our Newsletter.

New domain name registration volumes:
  • New gTLDs related to REAL ESTATE;
  • New gTLDs related to ALCOHOL;
  • New gTLDs related to SPORT;
  • New gTLDs related to the LAW (yesterday's report);
  • New gTLDs related to FINANCE (yesterday's report);
  • New gTLDs related to COLORS (yesterday's report).
