Intangible rights under UCC Article 9 are those that do not have a physical presence but are nonetheless valuable and can be subject to security interests. Deposit accounts are classified as intangible rights because they represent a contractual right to receive money from a financial institution. They are not tangible property like vehicles or real estate, which have physical forms.

Real estate property is a tangible asset and is governed by different legal frameworks outside of Article 9. Similarly, vehicles and inventory goods are tangible items; they represent physical assets that can be seen and touched, thus they do not fall under the definition of intangible rights. Therefore, deposit accounts are the correct choice as they embody a form of financial asset that represents a claim to payment, consistent with the nature of intangible rights as defined in the UCC.
