Item 5.  Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On August 13, 2002, the United States District Court judge
for the District of Colorado awarded approximately $54 million,
plus certain interest from January 1, 2002, to the University of
Colorado Foundation and other plaintiffs in the MaternaTM patent
infringement litigation.  As a result of its contract with the
University of Colorado Foundation, Competitive Technologies, Inc.
(CTT) shares 18.2% of damages after attorneys' fees.  If this
judgment is not modified or appealed, CTT's share would be
approximately $6 million plus its proportionate share of
interest.

     Since the defendant may appeal this judgment, CTT is unable
to predict when this lawsuit will finally be settled or when it
will receive its share of damages finally awarded, if any.  CTT
has recorded no potential judgment proceeds in its financial
statements to date.

     (See discussion of MaternaTM Litigation in Note 6 to CTT's
Condensed Financial Statements in its report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended April 30, 2002, for further information
related to this lawsuit.)
