So the <code>Aldi Nord</code> and <code>Aldi Süd</code> brand, which are only used as shop indication brands on products (at least in Germany), have to resolved to the common shop name <code>Aldi</code> instead of <code>Aldi Nord</code> or <code>Aldi Süd</code>. For the brand <code>Aldi Süd</code> the shops could be also named <code>Aldi Süd</code>, as [https://www.aldi-sued.de/de/homepage.html written on the German logo], but as the shop name of the <code>Aldi Nord</code> brand was always <code>Aldi</code> from the beginning, no one in Germany use <code>Aldi Süd</code> as name for these shops.

*** For [https://www.diffordsguide.com/beer-wine-spirits/2003/san-miguel-cerveza-uk-brewed example], the licensing of beer brands: the same brand may be exploited under a licensing agreement by different companies depending on the country (and this can change with time). My understanding is that it is because for beer, it is a lot cheaper to produce locally than to transport internationally. In the UK San Miguel would probably be under Carlsberg Marstons, but in Spain it would be under Mahou San Miguel and in the Philippine or Hong Kong under the (original) San Miguel Brewery.
