Do not have to filed but should
PMSI in Inventory
A PMSI in invetory has priority over a prior perfected security interest in the same inventory colateral if the PMSI is perfected when the debtor gets possession of the colateral and any secured party who has filed a security interest in the same colateral is given notice of the PMSI before the debtor receives the inventory
Non-Inventory PMSI
If perfected within the 20-day grace period, perfection relates back to the day the debtor got possession (which means PMSI is superior to security interest created in the 20-day grace period)
Perfected Security Interests
First to file or perfect wins
If the security interest was perfected before the judicial security lien was attached, it has priority
Bankruptcy trustee is subordinate to al prior perfected security interests
Unperfected Security Interests
If there are two unperfected security interests in the same colateral, the first to attach has priority
