The legal term that describes the controlling body of a monopoly is "monopolist."

There is absolutely zero level of competition. Such monopoly is practically very rare.Imperfect Monopoly: It is also called as relative monopoly or simple or limited monopoly. It refers to a single seller market having no close substitute. It means in this market, a product may have a remote substitute.

Such type of monopoly is profit oriented.Public Monopoly: When production is owned, controlled and managed by government, it is called public monopoly. It is welfare and service oriented. So, it is also called as 'Welfare Monopoly' e.g. Railways, Defence, etc.Simple Monopoly: Simple monopoly firm charges a uniform price or single price to all the customers. He operates in a single market.Discriminating Monopoly: Such a monopoly firm charges different price to different customers for the same product. It prevails in more than one market.Legal Monopoly: When monopoly exists on account of trade marks, patents, copy rights, statutory regulation of government etc., it is called legal monopoly. Music industry is an example of legal monopoly.Natural Monopoly: It emerges as a result of natural advantages like good location, abundant mineral resources, etc. e.g. Gulf countries are having monopoly in crude oil exploration activities because of plenty of natural oil resources.Technological Monopoly: It emerges as a result of economies of large scale production, use of capital goods, new production methods, etc. E.g. engineering goods industry, automobile industry, software industry, etc.Joint Monopoly: A number of business firms acquire monopoly position through amalgamation, cartels, syndicates, etc, it becomes joint monopoly. e.g. Actually, pizza making firm and burger making firm are competitors of each other in fast food industry.
