No, UCC Article 2 does not require one party to be a merchant for the provisions to apply. It governs the sale of goods and is applicable to both merchants and non-merchants alike. However, certain sections of Article 2 do provide additional rules and obligations that specifically pertain to merchants, reflecting their expertise and the nature of their transactions.

Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), a merchant is defined as someone who deals in goods of the kind or has knowledge or skill unique to the goods involved in the transaction. Therefore, a merchant is typically recognized as such only in relation to the specific type of goods they regularly sell. If a merchant sells a different type of good that they do not typically deal in, they may not be considered a merchant for that specific transaction.

To get a UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) filing released, you typically need to obtain a UCC-3 termination statement from the secured party (the lender or entity that filed the UCC). This document must be signed by the secured party and filed with the appropriate state filing office where the original UCC was recorded. If the secured party is unresponsive, you may need to seek legal advice or a court order to compel the release. Always ensure to check the specific requirements of the state involved, as procedures can vary.
There is no statutory (UCC) requirement for an amendment to reflect a secured party's name change, so long as the secured party's contact address has not also changed. The purpose of the financing statement system under Article 9 is to give "notice" and even though the name of the creditor may have changed, so long as an inquiring person can find the creditor through its address and learn about the existence of the underlying security interest claim, then the purpose of the UCC is satisfied. See the Kansas case of Turnbull Oil v. N-B Co. for a good description of this issue. Although the case is under the prior version of Article 9, its rational is sound in finding no requirement to amend for a secured party name change.

The most common method of perfecting a security interest under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is by filing a financing statement, typically known as a UCC-1 form, with the appropriate state authority. This public filing provides notice to third parties of the secured party's interest in the collateral. Other methods of perfection include possession of the collateral or control, depending on the type of collateral involved.
