30-9-309. Protection of purchasers of instruments, documents, and securities. Nothing in this chapter limits the rights of a holder in due course of a negotiable instrument (30-3-302) or a holder to whom a negotiable document of title has been duly negotiated (30-7-501) or a protected purchaser of a security (30-8-333), and the holders or purchasers take priority over an earlier security interest even though perfected.
