The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a well-established set of legal rules for commercial transactions. Each state adopts most or all of the UCC by statute. For example, New York has adopted its only version of the UCC, as set forth on the internet.[1]
Article 2 of the UCC governs the sale of goods.
Article 9 of the UCC governs secured transactions, which include any transaction establishing an interest in personal property (including software), consignments, promissory notes or payment for intangibles. Article 9 does not apply to real estate mortgages or landlord liens, and there are a few other exceptions governed by other articles in the UCC or state law.[2]
