CTT ANNOUNCES SETTLEMENT WITH FORMER EMPLOYEE
IN OSHA MATTER

Fairfield, CT - (June 27, 2005) - Competitive Technologies, Inc. (AMEX: CTT) announced today that it has reached a settlement with Wil Jacques, its former VP Marketing & Technology Commercialization in regard to his OSHA claim against CTT; and, that the settlement has been approved by the Administrative Law Judge presiding over the case. The terms of the settlement agreement, which provide for a complete resolution of all disputes between the parties, are confidential.

“The breakthrough in discussions occurred when CTT approached Wil about the possibility of providing CTT with consulting services which could be of use to CTT and its clients,” said Paul A. Levitsky, CTT’s VP and General Counsel. “The resulting settlement thus provides both parties with distinct advantages.”

In part, the agreement calls for Mr. Jacques to utilize his experience in market research and analysis in support of CTT projects, through his consulting company Emanus, LLC, on a go-forward basis. CTT, in turn, will then be able to utilize its other resources in growing the business in accordance with its new management direction.

Mr. Jacques commented, “I am pleased to be working with CTT on a consulting basis, and believe this is a win-win situation.”
