        I have recorded many <i>nunc pro tunc</i> assignments over the
        years but is it possible to record a PROSPECTIVE assignment
        e.g., a typical assignment document but with the effective date
        being in the future?  Any other issues beyond recordation?  It
        does not seem like "best practice" maybe\u2014  but are there any
        legal/USPTO problems with doing so?</div>
