§ 1303.22.
(A) An instrument is transferred when it is delivered by a person other than its issuer
for the purpose of giving to the person receiving delivery the right to enforce the
instrument. (B) Transfer of an instrument, whether or not the transfer is a negotiation, vests in
the transferee any right of the transferor to enforce the instrument, including any
right as a holder in due course, but the transferee cannot acquire rights of a holder
in due course by a direct or indirect transfer from a holder in due course if the
transferee engaged in fraud or illegality affecting the instrument. (C) Unless otherwise agreed, if an instrument is transferred for value the transferee
has a specifically enforceable right to the unqualified indorsement of the transferor,
but negotiation of the instrument does not occur until the indorsement is made by
the transferor. (D) If a transferor purports to transfer less than the entire instrument, negotiation
of the instrument does not occur, the transferee of that instrument obtains no rights
under this chapter, and the transferee of that instrument has only the rights of a
partial assignee.
