Nice idea, but the monopoly laws already tried to address this phenomenon and companies just restructured to avoid them.
In your scenario, a company just has to split their market in half, rename the product for half their customers, and they’re no longer holding 50% of the market.
A good example of this is Japanease luxury car brands. They only exist so manufacturers could get around limits imposed by the US on number of imports. Two companies owned by one at the top doubled the amount they could import.

That’s actually super interesting. Any info on US based similarities (ie Ford/ Lincoln)? Are they for similar purposes or just following suit?
So base it on the parent corporation, and added bonus, no linking to your own companies as ‘competitors’.
