[E-trademarks] : Security interest/assignment question

[Tim Ackermann]

Scott,
 So you're saying that TSDR (you know - "Trademark Status") will simply
just show the assignment "status" based on whatever was filed before the
new Assignment Center--and nothing new--and retain that possibly inaccurate
status indefinitely? While also displaying the (hopefully) correct
ownership information?
 That is a tremendous disservice to users.
