It is your responsibility to comply with the most current version of these guidelines.

Unless otherwise provided in these Trademark & Copyright Guidelines or in a separate agreement with Citrix, use of Citrix’s logos, company names, trademarks, product names, or images of Citrix products by third parties in marketing, promotional or advertising materials is prohibited, as such use may create the perception that Citrix endorses or sponsors the product, service or promotion.

Citrix word marks (but not logo marks or other graphic depictions of Citrix marks) may be used to refer to Citrix’s products and services without an express license from Citrix, provided that such use is in compliance with these Trademark & Copyright Guidelines and any other applicable policies. At a minimum, permissible use assumes that the Citrix trademarks are not larger or more prominent than the rest of the surrounding text, no stylized Citrix trademarks or logos are used, proper marketing and attribution is used for all Citrix trademarks, a conspicuous disclaimer is used indicating that any third party goods or services are not sponsored or endorsed by Citrix, and nothing in the use would lead consumers to believe that there is an association or affiliation with Citrix that does not exist.

TRADEMARK SYMBOLS AND TRADEMARK NOTICE STATEMENTS

Trademark Symbols

Citrix trademarks may be designated by one of the three following symbols:

™: Used for trademarks with pending registration applications and for unregistered common law trademarks;

^SM: Used for service marks with pending registration applications and for unregistered common law service marks;

®: Used for marks registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Please refer to the Citrix Trademark List for information on the proper designation to use in connection with specific marks.

Regardless of whether the ™, SM or ® symbol is used, the trademark symbol should be placed immediately after the mark in superscript. If the document cannot be typeset in superscript, the symbol may be set in normal type and enclosed in parentheses.

Example: Citrix Gateway™ or Citrix Gateway (TM)

Citrix’s practices regarding when, where and how often to use trademark symbols differ depending on whether the underlying materials will only be available in the United States, or whether their distribution will extend to foreign countries.

Distribution Limited to the United States - Although proper trademark attribution is required, trademark symbols do not need to be displayed each and every time a Citrix mark is used. The following scheme sets forth the minimum scope of trademark attribution for Citrix marks:
- Prominent Uses: A trademark attribution symbol is required on all prominent uses of Citrix marks, such as on packaging, brochures, labels, headlines, headings, sub-headings, advertisements, White Papers and marketing materials.
- First Use in Text: A trademark attribution symbol is required upon the first use of a Citrix mark in text or body copy, even if the mark has appeared with a trademark symbol in the same material (i.e. in the headline or another prominent use).
- Subsequent Uses: An attribution trademark symbol is not required for any subsequent use of a mark in the same text, unless use of the symbol would avoid ambiguity.
- Logos: An attribution symbol is required with every use of a Citrix logo.
Distribution Outside the United States - Do not use trademark symbols on materials distributed solely outside the United States, but be sure to include an appropriate Trademark Notice Statement.

Trademark Notice Statement

Any material displaying a Citrix mark must also include the following Notice Statement:.

“[list the individual Citrix marks appearing in the material, using proper trademark symbols for each] are trademarks of Citrix Systems, Inc. and/or one or more of its subsidiaries, and may be registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and in other countries.”
