Depending on where you are in the world. Almost certainly yes.

Unless you have the copyright holders permission.

JP how about getting together and copyrighting the wheel, then sueing everyone who uses a wheel in their business. Like big record companies and such. :P

Oh no you don't! I want in!!

The wheel as a concept could not be the subject of copyright. Neither could the lever or many other things which are little more than naturally occurring phenomena.

Unless of course you were posting tongue in cheek in which case - excellent idea, lets.
