City's SpudBros deny rival's claims over trademark battle

Jacob (left) and Harley Nelson, the SpudBros, have expanded rapidly from their Flag Market base after becoming social media sensations

The Preston-based food stall faced the claim from Portsmouth-based vendor The Spud Father, which started operating in September with a logo styled on that of the 1972 film The Godfather.

Writing on Facebook, owner Rumen Islam says that he has been "threatened with legal action from Spudbros" over the use of the name and suggested that copyrights were registered in direct response to his operations.
