Learning management platform Instructure claims the domain name Canvas.com and its logo contain elements that conflict with Instructure's Canvas product and line of business.
Court documents seen by Domain Name Wire reveal, over subsequent years, Instructure's product capabilities expanded to allow users to showcase their resumes, professional references, and keep tabs on companies as well as new job openings.
In that regard, the documents explain, the diversity job board Canvas, and its Canvas.com domain could be perceived by some to conflict with Instructure's business activities and product offerings.
Instructure is only requesting that Canvas Tech stop using the canvas mark - a mark by which Canvas Tech has been branded for just a few months.
Although Jumpstart leased Canvas.com domain after changing its name in 2021, in years preceding the event, Instructure was approached numerous times by the domain's owner offering to sell canvas.com to Instructure.
It requires the diversity job board to "Remove or destroy all signs" and artifacts that could infringe on Instructure's trademark within 15 days of the order.
