Need help with a word

This is a case about anticompetitive business practices. The witness
says, "But I suspect it's generically true, that they were afraid
somebody would come along and have some sort of -- of a protected
intellectual property right in the software for video-on-demand and
that then there would be sort of a bilateral bargaining position that
they hoped to avoid by vertically integrating into video-on-demand.
And that's all well and good as long as they do it one at a time, but
forming a collusive cartel to offset [sounds like moNOXony] power is
not procompetitive."
