[E-trademarks] Prospective Assignments

[voyer@keganlaw.com]

Seems an “asssignment” as of a future date is a promise to assign, not an actual assignment.
Losts can happen before then. Death, change of mind, assignment to another. There might be
an action for breach of promise, but thee contingent assignee won’t have a confirmed property interest
by the earlier document.

Any other issues beyond recordation?  It does not seem like "best practice" maybe—  but are there any legal/USPTO problems with doing so?
