Automotive.

Almost no car badge stands alone. The industry consolidated into a handful of groups over the last three decades, and a marque you think of as Italian, British or Swedish is now typically one brand inside a listed parent with a controlling family trust sitting above it.

These reports separate the three things people conflate: who owns the trademark, who owns the factory, and who controls the votes. In automotive the third one usually matters most, because dual-class structures let founding families keep control of companies they no longer own outright.
