In the US, my understanding is that certain elements of a form (for example, icons) can be trademarked, but the layout of a form cannot be copyrighted.

Hi...</p> <p>&nbsp;I&#39;ve done some brief searching around and was woundering if it is posible to apply [ UK ] copyright to a infopath form design? I&#39;ve made a very complex and usefull form which I can see taking off if i was able to promote it, but before I do i was looking at perhaps getting a copyright of some kind?</p> <p>I know its a Microsoft product etc, and&nbsp;believe this type of design would use the same type as&nbsp;copyright as a published book?</p> <p>Can any one help?</p> <p>&nbsp;Thanks,<br />James Callaghan, Cambridge, UK</p>
