§

2-312. Warranty of title and against infringement; buyer's obligation against infringement

(1) Subject to

subsection (2) of this section there is in a contract for sale a warranty by

the seller that:

(a) the title

conveyed shall be good, and its transfer rightful; and

(b) the goods

shall be delivered free from any security interest or other lien or encumbrance

of which the buyer at the time of contracting has no knowledge.

(2) A warranty

under subsection (1) of this section will be excluded or modified only by

specific language or by circumstances which give the buyer reason to know that

the person selling does not claim title in himself or that he is purporting to

sell only such right or title as he or a third person may have.

(3) Unless

otherwise agreed a seller who is a merchant regularly dealing in goods of the

kind warrants that the goods shall be delivered free of the rightful claim of

any third person by way of infringement or the like but a buyer who furnishes

specifications to the seller must hold the seller harmless against any such

claim which arises out of compliance with the specifications.
