Dodd, Mead & Company Revived Under Current Trademark Ownership
The Californer/10335112

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - Californer -- Dodd, Mead & Company, the historic American publishing house founded in 1839, has been formally reactivated as an active publishing imprint under current trademark ownership.

Originally established in New York in the nineteenth century, Dodd, Mead & Company operated for more than a century as a major American publisher before the original corporate entity ceased operations in the late twentieth century. The DODD, MEAD® trademark has since been lawfully acquired and is now held by its present owner, who has relaunched the imprint for contemporary publishing use.

The revival restores Dodd, Mead & Company as an active publishing name while preserving its historical identity and legacy. The current operation functions as a modern publishing imprint, distinct from the original corporate structure, and is focused on new works aligned with the company's longstanding literary tradition.
