     Competitive Technologies Appoints Dr. Donald J. Freed as President and
                 Chief Executive Officer Replacing John B. Nano

Fairfield, CT - (June 14, 2005) - Competitive Technologies, Inc. (AMEX: CTT)
announced that effective today Dr. Donald J. Freed, the Company's Executive Vice
President and Chief Technology Officer, has been appointed by the Board of
Directors to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis,

anticipated that Mr. Nano will continue to be employed by the Company on a
consultancy basis. This will provide for continuity by making his expertise
available to the Company in the future.

Mr. Richard E. Carver, Chairman of the Board, said, "The Board of Directors
feels strongly about expanding our strategic vision for increased recurring
revenues, and I believe that Dr. Freed can provide the leadership to achieve
that goal. Dr. Freed knows technology and how to manage technology companies,
and is particularly well-suited for continuing to develop CTT's technology
commercialization business. Before joining us in 2004, Dr. Freed was responsible
for the successful start-up of advanced materials initiatives in three Fortune
50 companies, and has extensive experience in licensing and technology transfer
