409.316(3) (3) Possessory security interest in collateral moved to new jurisdiction. A possessory security interest in collateral, other than goods covered by a certificate of title and as-extracted collateral consisting of goods, remains continuously perfected if:
409.316(3)(a) (a) The collateral is located in one jurisdiction and subject to a security interest perfected under the law of that jurisdiction;
409.316(3)(b) (b) Thereafter the collateral is brought into another jurisdiction; and
409.316(3)(c) (c) Upon entry into the other jurisdiction, the security interest is perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction.
409.316(4) (4) Goods covered by certificate of title from this state. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (5), a security interest in goods covered by a certificate of title which is perfected by any method under the law of another jurisdiction when the goods become covered by a certificate of title from this state remains perfected until the security interest would have become unperfected under the law of the other jurisdiction had the goods not become so covered.
409.316(5) (5) When sub. (4) security interest becomes unperfected against purchasers. A security interest described in sub. (4) becomes unperfected as against a purchaser of the goods for value and is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of the goods for value if the applicable requirements for perfection under s. 409.311 (2) or 409.313 are not satisfied before the earlier of:
409.316(5)(a) (a) The time the security interest would have become unperfected under the law of the other jurisdiction had the goods not become covered by a certificate of title from this state; or
409.316(5)(b) (b) The expiration of 4 months after the goods had become so covered.
409.316(6) (6) Change in jurisdiction of bank, issuer, nominated person, securities intermediary, or commodity intermediary. A security interest in deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, or investment property which is perfected under the law of the bank's jurisdiction, the issuer's jurisdiction, a nominated person's jurisdiction, the securities intermediary's jurisdiction, or the commodity intermediary's jurisdiction, as applicable, remains perfected until the earlier of:
409.316(6)(a) (a) The time the security interest would have become unperfected under the law of that jurisdiction; or
409.316(6)(b) (b) The expiration of 4 months after a change of the applicable jurisdiction to another jurisdiction.
409.316(7) (7) Sub. (6) security interest perfected or unperfected under law of new jurisdiction. If a security interest described in sub. (6) becomes perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier of the time or the end of the period described in that subsection, it remains perfected thereafter. If the security interest does not become perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier of that time or the end of that period, it becomes unperfected and is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of the collateral for value.
409.316(8) (8) Effect on filed financing statement of change in governing law. The following rules apply to collateral to which a security interest attaches within 4 months after the debtor changes its location to another jurisdiction:
409.316(8)(a) (a) A financing statement filed before the change pursuant to the law of the jurisdiction designated in s. 409.301 (1) or 409.305 (3) is effective to perfect a security interest in the collateral if the financing statement would have been effective to perfect a security interest in the collateral had the debtor not changed its location.
409.316(8)(b) (b) If a security interest perfected by a financing statement that is effective under par. (a) becomes perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier of the time the financing statement would have become ineffective under the law of the jurisdiction designated in s. 409.301 (1) or 409.305 (3) or the expiration of the 4-month period, it remains perfected thereafter. If the security interest does not become perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier time or event, it becomes unperfected and is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of the collateral for value.
409.316(9) (9) Effect of change in governing law on financing statement filed against original debtor. If a financing statement naming an original debtor is filed pursuant to the law of the jurisdiction designated in s. 409.301 (1) or 409.305 (3) and the new debtor is located in another jurisdiction, the following rules apply:
409.316(9)(a) (a) The financing statement is effective to perfect a security interest in collateral acquired by the new debtor before, and within 4 months after, the new debtor becomes bound under s. 409.203 (4), if the financing statement would have been effective to perfect a security interest in the collateral had the collateral been acquired by the original debtor.
409.316(9)(b) (b) A security interest perfected by the financing statement and which becomes perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier of the time the financing statement would have become ineffective under the law of the jurisdiction designated in s. 409.301 (1) or 409.305 (3) or the expiration of the 4-month period remains perfected thereafter. A security interest that is perfected by the financing statement but which does not become perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier time or event becomes unperfected and is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of the collateral for value.

409.322 409.322 Priorities among conflicting security interests in and agricultural liens on same collateral.
409.322(1)(1)General priority rules. Except as otherwise provided in this section, priority among conflicting security interests and agricultural liens in the same collateral is determined according to the following rules:
409.322(1)(a) (a) Conflicting perfected security interests and agricultural liens rank according to priority in time of filing or perfection. Priority dates from the earlier of the time a filing covering the collateral is first made or the security interest or agricultural lien is first perfected, if there is no period thereafter when there is neither filing nor perfection.
409.322(1)(b) (b) A perfected security interest or agricultural lien has priority over a conflicting unperfected security interest or agricultural lien.
409.322(1)(c) (c) The first security interest or agricultural lien to attach or become effective has priority if conflicting security interests and agricultural liens are unperfected.
409.322(2) (2) Time of perfection: proceeds and supporting obligations. For the purposes of sub. (1) (a):
409.322(2)(a) (a) The time of filing or perfection as to a security interest in collateral is also the time of filing or perfection as to a security interest in proceeds; and
409.322(2)(b) (b) The time of filing or perfection as to a security interest in collateral supported by a supporting obligation is also the time of filing or perfection as to a security interest in the supporting obligation.
409.322(3) (3) Special priority rules: proceeds and supporting obligations. Except as otherwise provided in sub. (6), a security interest in collateral which qualifies for priority over a conflicting security interest under s. 409.327, 409.328, 409.329, 409.330, or 409.331 also has priority over a conflicting security interest in:
409.322(3)(a) (a) Any supporting obligation for the collateral; and
409.322(3)(b) (b) Proceeds of the collateral if:
409.322(3)(b)1. 1. The security interest in proceeds is perfected;
409.322(3)(b)2. 2. The proceeds are cash proceeds or of the same type as the collateral; and
409.322(3)(b)3. 3. In the case of proceeds that are proceeds of proceeds, all intervening proceeds are cash proceeds, proceeds of the same type as the collateral, or an account relating to the collateral.
409.322(4) (4) First-to-file priority rule for certain collateral. Subject to sub. (5) and except as otherwise provided in sub. (6), if a security interest in chattel paper, deposit accounts, negotiable documents, instruments, investment property, or letter-of-credit rights is perfected by a method other than filing, conflicting perfected security interests in proceeds of the collateral rank according to priority in time of filing.
409.322(5) (5) Applicability of sub. (4). Subsection (4) applies only if the proceeds of the collateral are not cash proceeds, chattel paper, negotiable documents, instruments, investment property, or letter-of-credit rights.
409.322(6) (6) Limitations on subs. (1) to (5). Subsections (1) to (5) are subject to:
409.322(6)(a) (a) Subsection (7) and the other provisions of this subchapter;
409.322(6)(b) (b) Section 404.210 with respect to a security interest of a collecting bank;
409.322(6)(c) (c) Section 405.118 with respect to a security interest of an issuer or nominated person; and
409.322(6)(d) (d) Section 409.110 with respect to a security interest arising under ch. 402 or 411.
409.322(7) (7) Priority under agricultural lien statute. A perfected agricultural lien on collateral has priority over a conflicting security interest in or agricultural lien on the same collateral if the statute creating the agricultural lien so provides.
