§ 1309.508.
(A) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a filed financing statement naming
an original debtor is effective to perfect a security interest in collateral in which
a new debtor has or acquires rights to the extent that the financing statement would
have been effective had the original debtor acquired rights in the collateral. (B) If the difference between the name of the original debtor and that of the new debtor
causes a filed financing statement that is effective under division (A) of this section
to be seriously misleading under section 1309.506 of the Revised Code : (1) The financing statement is effective to perfect a security interest in collateral
acquired by the new debtor before, and within four months after, the new debtor becomes
bound under division (D) of section 1309.203 of the Revised Code ; and (2) The financing statement is not effective to perfect a security interest in collateral
acquired by the new debtor more than four months after the new debtor becomes bound
under division (D) of section 1309.203 of the Revised Code unless an initial financing statement providing the name of the new debtor is filed
before the expiration of that time. (C) This section does not apply to collateral as to which a filed financing statement
remains effective against the new debtor under division (A) of section 1309.507 of the Revised Code .
