     § 2312.  Warranty of title and against infringement; obligation
                of buyer against infringement.
        (a)  General rule.--Subject to subsection (b) there is in a
     contract for sale a warranty by the seller that:
            (1)  the title conveyed shall be good, and its transfer
        rightful; and
            (2)  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.
        (b)  Exclusion or modification of warranty.--A warranty under
     subsection (a) 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 that
     he is purporting to sell only such right or title as he or a
     third person may have.
        (c)  Warranty of merchant regularly dealing in goods.--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.
