Most paper wall calendars use a traditional layout for the dates which puts each day in a small square. My format is completely different, unique, and never before seen, it is not an obvious invention. Can I patent my calendar layout?

If the layout has never been done before and is not obvious, then theoretically it can be patentable.

Copyright law is likely to give better protection on a calendar layout.
