Former Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont has asked Spanish authorities to stop the sale of a brand of dry-cured ham called "Pig Demont" whose logo is a pig with a hairstyle and glasses similar to his.
The request is being studied by Spain's patent office which has temporarily suspended the "jamon" brand from being officially registered while it considers the arguments in the case, a spokesman for the office told AFP on Thursday.
