11-9-505. Filing and compliance with other statutes and treaties for consignments, leases, other bailments, and other transactions.

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 subsection (a) of Code Section 11-9-311, 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”.#

Effect of financing statement under subsection (a) of this Code section. This part applies to the filing of a financing statement under subsection (a) of this Code section and, as appropriate, to compliance that is equivalent to filing a financing statement under subsection (b) of Code Section 11-9-311, 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.#
