Assignment is an owned right (defined by owned right typeu8 value) + state data + UTXO, which forms a single-use-seal definition when it is assigned that owned right.
So: nothing can prevent some given UTXO from having multiple assignments, of different owned right type, and even for each owned right type there might be multiple assignments.
UTXO <-one to many-> owned right type <-one to many-> assignment of some state:
assign an inflation right to it (one)
assign ownership right fo 100 of USDT
assign ownership right of 10 Apple shares under different contract
assign ownership right of 10000 of USDT again
This is a very bad situation, but we can’t prevent it from happening.
Especially if you assign different types of owned rights under the same contract you may not be able to create a state transition without loosing some of the rights or assets (since state transitions have a very strict set of owned rights type for which they can close seals). That is why @dr-orlovsky has created “split rights" state transition, which does only one thing - gives the ability to split those mixed rights into different UTXOs.
Management of these UTXOs stays an opened question.
