For Immediate Release:

    COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES CLIENT WINS AT US SUPREME COURT
                  AGAINST WYETH IN MATERNA CASE

Fairfield, CT (April 19, 2004):  Competitive Technologies, Inc.
(AMEX: CTT) announced today that the lower court judgments in
favor of the company and its client, the University of Colorado,
will stand in the Materna case.  CTT has been advised that the
Supreme Court of the United States has denied Wyeth's (NYSE: WYE)
appeal of the $58.3 million judgment for patent fraud and unjust
enrichment against Wyeth and in favor of CTT and its client.  CTT
will receive approximately $3.5 million in addition to the $1.8
million previously received from earlier assignments of
anticipated proceeds for a total of $5.3 million.

John B. Nano, President and CEO of CTT said, "It was our opinion
that the highest court in the nation would not hear a simple case
of fraud and unjust enrichment.  This case had already been
decided in multiple lower court decisions that found in favor of
the University et al.  The judicial process has at last provided
fairness to the University, the citizens of Colorado, and the
research doctors Robert H. Allen and Paul A. Seligman.  Wyeth has
been held accountable for patent fraud and unjust enrichment.  We
are pleased to finally close this litigation which began in 1993
for product sales between 1984 and 1994.  This decision marks the
11th time CTT has prevailed in the courts on patent infringement
cases.  We will continue to be selective in the cases we bring
against others for patent infringement, and when we do bring
suit, it should be clear we expect to win."

Mr. Nano continued, "CTT continues to make significant progress
in executing our growth strategies in 2004, particularly in two
areas, expanding the number and quality of innovative
technologies in our portfolio and fully capitalizing on the true
value of CTT's assets.  We have made critical improvements and
have brought the company to profitability.  The new
commercialization team at CTT is the strongest, most experienced
and qualified in the history of the company.  We are forming
strong global alliances, gaining outstanding technologies from
clients and moving them into the marketplace.  With the resources
of these highly qualified people and sufficient funding, CTT is
confident of successfully implementing its strategic business
plan for sustainable long-term growth and enhanced shareholder
value."
