If you can’t read the domain name above, you’re not alone. That’s because in Chinese it means Nikon.world, it’s an IDN and the owner made over 300,000% with this deal. The buyer is Nikon according to the WHOIS record.
I think this is an interesting data point and a sign that we are really still in the early days of domain names. These are very early sales, and in many cases a domain like this would end-up in a UDRP. I don’t recommend registering Trademark infringements so this is not the kind of purchase I would endorse.
Still, it’s an interesting data point, a new IDN with real interest from big brands.
