Make a Batch File That Keeps Both Files When a Name Conflict Occurs

Is there any way to make a batch file that does not overwrite an existing file when there is a name conflict, but instead keeps both copies of the file in the same path?

The Batch file below works like COPY command with just one file. If the file already exist in target folder, a number in parentheses is added to new file in order to keep both files.

@echo off
Rem mycopy sourceFile targetDir
Set targetName=%~1
Set i=0
:nextName
   If not exist "%~2/%targetName%" goto copy
   Set /A i+=1
   Set targetName=%~1 (%i%)
   Goto nextName
:copy
Copy %1 "%~2/%targetName%"
