| Subsection (d) [Maine cite subsection (4)] takes a different |
approach to the problem of goods covered by a nonnegotiable |
document. Here, title to the goods is not looked on as being |
locked up in the document, and the secured party may perfect its |
security interest directly in the goods by filing as to them. |
The subsection provides two other methods of perfection: |
issuance of the document in the secured party's name (as |
consignee of a straight bill of lading or the person to whom |
delivery would be made under a nonnegotiable warehouse receipt) |
and receipt of notification of the secured party's interest by |
the bailee. Perfection under subsection (d) [Maine cite |
subsection (4)] occurs when the bailee receives notification of |
the secured party's interest in the goods, regardless of who |
sends the notification. Receipt of notification is effective to |
perfect, regardless of whether the bailee responds. Unlike |
former Section 9-304(3), from which it derives, subsection (d) |
[Maine cite subsection (4)] does not apply to goods in the |
possession of a bailee who has not issued a document of title. |
Section 9-313(c) [Maine cite section 9-1313, subsection (3)] |
covers that case and provides that perfection by possession as to |
goods not covered by a document requires the bailee's |
acknowledgment. |
