9505 - Filing and compliance with other statutes and treaties for consignments, leases, other bailments and other transactions.
§ 9505. Filing and compliance with other statutes and treaties for consignments, leases, other bailments and other transactions. (a) Use of terms other than "debtor" and "secured party".--A consignor, lessor or other bailor of goods, a licensor or a buyer of a payment intangible or promissory note may file a financing statement or may comply with a statute or treaty described in section 9311(a) (relating to perfection of security interests in property subject to certain statutes, regulations and treaties), using the terms "consignor," "consignee," "lessor," "lessee," "bailor," "bailee," "licensor," "licensee," "owner," "registered owner," "buyer," "seller" or words of similar import, instead of the terms "secured party" and "debtor." (b) Effect of financing statement under subsection (a).-- This chapter applies to the filing of a financing statement under subsection (a) and, as appropriate, to compliance which is equivalent to filing a financing statement under section 9311(b), but the filing or compliance is not of itself a factor in determining whether the collateral secures an obligation. If it is determined for another reason that the collateral secures an obligation, a security interest held by the consignor, lessor, bailor, licensor, owner or buyer which attaches to the collateral is perfected by the filing or compliance.
