Proctorio sued Ian Linkletter, then a UBC learning technologist, in 2020 over social media posts criticizing its exam-monitoring software that linked to material Proctorio said violated its copyright. His bid to have the case dismissed as a strategic suit against public participation failed. The suit ended in a confidential settlement in which both sides said no money changed hands, and an injunction still bars him from sharing Proctorio help-center material.
