Not quite.  Have you ever been involved in a company-to-company deal?
There's usually a BIG (20- 30-page) agreement that covers everything under
the sun.  The agreement you ahve seems to be like that.  But nobody wants
to publicly record the whole thing, do you.  So the usual way to handle
this is a one-page document that on its face appears to be an assignment --
it says "A hereby assigns to B [all the relevant stuff].   The terms of the
BIG agreement signed on even date herewith controls."   The doc you want it
analogous -- a short doc that on its face looks like a license, "A hereby
licenses to B" and that states all the rights that matter to your client,
and then says "The BIG agreement of [whatever date] controls."  Then record
THAT.

If you've never seen anything like that, email me, and I'll send you an
example (it's was made to be publicly recorded -- happy to give it to you).
