[...] the Supreme Court suggested that licensors might be permitted to require, as a condition of granting the license, that the licensee promise not to seek a holding that the licensed patents are invalid, and that the contract might prevent the licensee from challenging the patents.217 Nevertheless, if MedImmune means that post-agreement challenges cannot be ruled out, then licensors may wish to include a contractual provision indicating that, if the license is unsuccessfully challenged, then attorney's fees and costs for the declaratory judgment action must be paid by the licensee.218 Alternatively, licensors may consider adding a clause to provide for termination of the license upon the challenge of the underlying patented technology.

This paper analyzes the relevance of a set of some performance measures for optimal portfolios including hedge funds. Four criteria are considered: the Sharpe Ratio, the Returns on VaR and on CVaR, and the Omega performance measure. The results are illustrated by an allocation on several indices: HFR (Global Hedge Fund Index), JPM Government Bond Index, S&P GSCI, MSCI World and the UBS Global Convertible. Both static and dynamic optimizations are considered. Due to the non-convexity of some of the criteria, we use the "threshold accepting algorithm" to solve numerically the optimization problems. The time period of the analysis is September 1997 to August 2007. Our results suggest that, for the dynamic optimization, the portfolio which maximizes the Omega measure has the more stable...
