Molder's lien
Official statutory text
A. Molders shall have a lien, dependent on possession, on all
dies, molds, forms, or patterns in their hands belonging to a
customer, for the balance due them from such customer for any
manufacturing or fabrication work, and in the value of all material
related to such work. The customer may at any time discharge the
lien by depositing with the county clerk in whose office the lien
claim has been filed an amount of money or bond equal to one hundred
twenty-five percent (125%) of the lien claim amount, in accordance
with the same procedures as specified in Section 147.1 of Title 42
of the Oklahoma Statutes. The molder may retain possession of the
die, mold, form, or pattern until the charges are paid or the lien
or bond is released.
B. Before enforcing such lien, notice in writing shall be given
to the customer, whether delivered personally or sent by registered
mail, return receipt requested, to the last-known address of the
customer. This notice shall state that a lien is claimed for the
damages set forth in or attached to such writing for manufacturing
or fabrication work contracted or performed for the customer. This
notice shall also include a demand for payment.
C. If the molder has not been paid the amount due within sixty
(60) days after the notice has been received by the customer as
provided in subsection B of this section, the molder may sell the
die, mold, form, or pattern at a public or private auction.
