(A) A consignor, lessor, or other bailor of goods, a licensor, or a buyer of a payment intangible or promissory note may file a financing statement, or may comply with a statute or treaty described in division (A) of section 1309.311 of the Revised Code, using the terms "consignor," "consignee," "lessor," "lessee," "bailor," "bailee," "licensor," "licensee," "owner," "registered owner," "buyer," "seller," or words of similar import, instead of the terms "secured party" and "debtor."
(B) Sections 1309.501 to 1309.527 of the Revised Code apply to the filing of a financing statement under division (A) of this section and, as appropriate, to compliance that is equivalent to filing a financing statement under division (B) of section 1309.311 of the Revised Code, but the filing or compliance is not of itself a factor in determining whether the collateral secures an obligation. If it is determined for another reason that the collateral secures an obligation, a security interest held by the consignor, lessor, bailor, licensor, owner, or buyer that attaches to the collateral is perfected by the filing or compliance.
