Practice question
Owner O assigns a patent interest to A in January. A does not record within three months. In May, B’s purchases the same interest for valuable consideration without notice of A’s assignment; A still has not recorded before B’s purchase. A claims recordation can never affect B. Which answer follows Section106.2?
- The unrecorded instrument is void against this subsequent good-faith purchaser because neither stated recording alternative was met
- Every unrecorded instrument always prevails against every later purchaser
- B must lose solely because A’s instrument is older, regardless of Section106.2
- The section applies only to gifts without consideration
- The statute dispenses with the without-notice condition in every case
