§ 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 herself or that he or she is
purporting to sell only such right or title as he or she 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.
