Italian term or phrase:imitazione incompatibile o tautologico
Il gioco di imitazione incompatibile o *tautologico* prende forma quando l’imitatore risponde, a sua volta, con un’innovazione, ma che risulta tecnologicamente incompatibile con quella dell’innovatore. La sua soluzione è capace comunque di soddisfare le stesse funzioni e di offrire benefici simili.
Explanation: tautologic
adj : repetition of same sense in different words; "`a true fact'
and `a free gift' are pleonastic expressions"; "the
phrase `a beginner who has just started' is
tautological"; "at the risk of being redundant I return
to my original proposition"- J.B.Conant [syn: pleonastic,
redundant, tautological]

Will any of the synonyms listed above work for you? I myself might use redundant (probably more familiar to the general population).
