§ 7104 Negotiable Documents Of Title
This law says a paper that proves ownership of goods can be passed to someone else only if it says the goods go to whoever holds the paper or to a specific person’s order, unless the paper clearly says it can’t be passed on.
A shipping company gives a bill that says "Deliver the toys to Jane Smith" and does not have a big "non‑negotiable" notice.
Because the paper says the goods go to a named person, Jane can give the paper to another buyer and that buyer can claim the toys. If the paper had a big "non‑negotiable" label, no one could transfer it.
