§490:2A-211 Warranties against interference
and against infringement; lessee's obligation against infringement. (a)
There is in a lease contract a warranty that for the lease term no person holds
a claim to or interest in the goods that arose from an act or omission of the
lessor, other than a claim by way of infringement or the like, which will
interfere with the lessee's enjoyment of its leasehold interest.
(b) Except in a finance lease, there is in a
lease contract by a lessor who is a merchant regularly dealing in goods of the
kind, a warranty that the goods are delivered free of the rightful claim of any
person by way of infringement or the like.
(c) A lessee who furnishes specifications to a
lessor or a supplier shall hold the lessor and the supplier harmless against
any claim by way of infringement or the like that arises out of compliance with
the specifications. [L 1991, c 40, pt of §1]
