    I haven't yet. The idea I had is Ermine, quarter sable, an owl or, in the quarter a lion sejant regardant or.

    If that makes sense anyway.

    Firstly, if what you want is a black square in the upper dexter corner (left-hand side at the top as you face it), that should read a quarter sable.
    Secondly, if the shield is filled with an owl, but a full quarter defaces it, there is not much owl left to see. Perhaps the black area should be a canton, rather than a quarter, which will give the owl more room.
    Regards,

    If I used a canton with the blazon, how would that read then, keeping the or owl and lion sejant?

    I haven't found a good site for rendering it yet, I have the picture in my head though, and it is an ermine shield with a gold owl as a charge. There is a black canton with a gold seated lion looking back.

    Actually, that description is pretty clear. Thanks!

    Going back to your basic question regarding copyright of a coat of arms, you may want to look at this page from the American Heraldry Society website. The advice on copyright and trademark was furnished by attorneys with experience in these areas, although they would be the first to say that it is not "legal advice" and doesn't establish an attorney-client relationship between them and the readers. I've linked directly to the copyright section, but scrolling up and down will put it in context.
