Is the imprint more of your personal logo?

Thank you This video was very helpful. You mention that KDP tried to make things easier for new authors but I think it has the opposite effect. But perhaps that is because I tried to overthink it.

Hi Eevi! As always, thank you so much for the informative video. I purchased a set of 10 ISBN #'s years ago and assigned an organization name (I'm guessing this would be the imprint)? Although I feel it's no longer fitting so I changed it last night - and it allowed me to do so. First, is the organization name, the same as an imprint? Just wanted to get your thoughts before I publish my book in the next week or so. Thanks so much!

Hi Kiki! You're absolutely correct - whatever name you used during the purchase of your ISBNs would be the imprint/ publisher you would want to list over on KDP. And if you go directly to Bowker (where we purchase our official ISBNs) and request to add or change that name, they will be able to change that for you, which (it sounds like) you already did. I so hope this helps, Kiki! I wish you such a wonderful launch!

Hi Eevi! Thank you for all of your helpful videos! Can we just choose "Independently Published" and come up with an imprint later? This is my first time publishing a book.

Hi MK! You're so welcome. Unfortunately anything that will be tied to our ISBN can't be changed later. And since we have to provide an imprint name at the time of ISBN purchase, it's best to have that in place beforehand. I so hope this helps.

You're very welcome, Karen! Regarding watermarks: including those on your illustrations for images on your website or social media would absolutely be an option. In the book itself, however, I would recommend not including them! I so hope this answers your question, Karen. I will post my response below your other comment as well, just in case!

Thank you Eevi. The thing I am still confused about is if you put the full name of your imprint in the book or the logo (or do you perhaps include both). In your case, does the logo stand on its own, or do you actually write LHC publishing on the back of your books. Is the full unabreviated name (Loewenherz . . .) ever visible to the reader. Thanks again.
@EeviJones

You're so very welcome! You could simply use both. That's what we often see with big publishers as well. Penguin Young Readers Group (an imprint of Penguin Random House, for example) often simply has their logo on the cover, and then also its name (and logo) on the copyright page). I so hope this helps!

Great video! What happens if we checked and see no one has used our imprint name, and then we use it and don't trademark it, and then later down the road someone else trademarks my imprint name? Not sure what the common law trademark does for this case. Also, I tried using the uspto site to search for LHC Publishing just to see if it pops up, and it doesn't. What happens if I didn't know you already use that name, and I choose my imprint name to also be LHC Publishing since that site shows that no one else is using it? I'm a bit confuse about this.

Thanks so much! I would go ahead and consider consulting with an intellectual property attorney for these specific questions. Generally, if someone were to use our name (even if it isn't trademarked) can still lead to legal issues, mainly because a company or individual can acquire "common law" rights to a brand name simply by using it in commerce. These rights can provide protection even if the brand name is not officially registered as a trademark. Regarding our name research, we can also simply use Amazon's search bar to see if a name is already in use. For example, entering LHC Publishing would bring up a number of my books. I so hope this helps.
