Sec. 42a-8-303. Protected purchaser. (a) "Protected purchaser" means a purchaser of a certificated or uncertificated security, or of an interest therein, who:
(1) Gives value;
(2) Does not have notice of any adverse claim to the security; and
(3) Obtains control of the certificated or uncertificated security.

(1959, P.A. 133, S. 8-303; P.A. 79-435, S. 18; P.A. 97-182, S. 29.)
History: P.A. 79-435 made technical corrections; P.A. 97-182 entirely replaced former provisions defining "broker"
with provisions defining "protected purchaser" and specifying that the interest in a security acquired by a protected purchaser
is free of any adverse claim, a restatement of Sec. 42a-8-302(1) and (3), revised to 1997.
See Sec. 42a-8-102(a)(3) for successor provisions to Sec. 42a-8-303, revised to 1997, re definition of "broker".
