ORS 78.3040
Indorsement
(1)
An indorsement may be in blank or special. An indorsement in blank includes an indorsement to bearer. A special indorsement specifies to whom a security is to be transferred or who has power to transfer it. A holder may convert a blank indorsement to a special indorsement.(2)
An indorsement purporting to be only of part of a security certificate representing units intended by the issuer to be separately transferable is effective to the extent of the indorsement.(3)
An indorsement, whether special or in blank, does not constitute a transfer until delivery of the certificate on which it appears or, if the indorsement is on a separate document, until delivery of both the document and the certificate.(4)
If a security certificate in registered form has been delivered to a purchaser without a necessary indorsement, the purchaser may become a protected purchaser only when the indorsement is supplied. However, against a transferor, a transfer is complete upon delivery and the purchaser has a specifically enforceable right to have any necessary indorsement supplied.(5)
An indorsement of a security certificate in bearer form may give notice of an adverse claim to the certificate, but it does not otherwise affect a right to registration that the holder possesses.(6)
Unless otherwise agreed, a person making an indorsement assumes only the obligations imposed by ORS 78.1080 (Warranties in direct holding) and not an obligation that the security will be honored by the issuer. [1961 c.726 §78.3040 (Indorsement); 1985 c.676 §78.3040 (Indorsement); 1995 c.328 §30]
