Item 5.   Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On September 3, 2003, the United States Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit affirmed the August 13, 2002 judgment of the
United States District Court for the District of Colorado in the
Materna(TM) 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 appealed, CTT's share would be approximately $4.7
million plus its proportionate share of interest.

     Although the defendant may appeal this judgment, based on
the language of this September 3, 2003 judgment, CTT's management
believes there is a reasonable possibility that this lawsuit will
finally be settled and it will receive its share of damages
finally awarded.  CTT has recorded no potential judgment proceeds
in its financial statements to date.  CTT will record revenue for
judgment proceeds when it receives them.

     (For further information related to this lawsuit, see the
discussion of Materna Litigation in Notes 9 and 11 to CTT's
Condensed Financial Statements in its report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended April 30, 2003.)
