COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. REPORTS

FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2007 RESULTS

Fairfield, CT (December 14, 2006) - Competitive Technologies, Inc. (AMEX: CTT) today announced a net loss of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.14 per share, for its first quarter ended October 31, 2006. This compares to a net loss of approximately $0.3 million, or $0.04 per share, for the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Retained royalties for the quarter ended October 31, 2006, were approximately $0.7 million, a decrease of $0.5 million, compared to approximately $1.2 million of retained royalties for the same quarter in the prior year. Retained royalties in the prior year quarter included $0.2 million of upfront license fees received related to a new homocysteine license granted in a prior year. In addition, royalties from our homocysteine assay technology decreased an additional approximate $0.3 million compared to the same period of last year, due to a decrease in royalties from two of our larger licensees. We currently are pursuing litigation against alleged infringers of our homocysteine assay patent, including Carolina Liquid Chemistries Corporation, Catch, Inc., and the Diazyme Laboratories Division of General Atomics. However, revenues may not be realized for a significant period of time as the enforcement action progresses through the court system.

Total revenues for the quarter ended October 31, 2006, were approximately $0.9 million, compared to approximately $1.4 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in total revenues was due to the decrease in retained royalties.

Expenses in total for the quarter ended October 31, 2006 were approximately $2.0 million, compared to approximately $1.7 million in the prior year quarter. Personnel and other direct expenses relating to revenues increased approximately $0.2 million, due to the addition of new business development staff in the prior year to bring in new technologies for licensing. General and administrative expenses for the quarter essentially were flat compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Patent enforcement expenses, net of reimbursements, increased approximately $0.2 million compared to the prior year, principally due to more activity in the current year relating to the arbitration with Palatin Technologies, Inc., and the homocysteine patent infringement litigation described above.

Dr. D. J. Freed, CTT’s President and Chief Executive Officer said, “We expect 2007 to be another year of transition as we focus our efforts on building a pipeline of revenue-producing technologies for the long term. Consequently, our first quarter revenues were as we anticipated. Our focus is on filling and diversifying our pipeline in order to increase recurring revenue and lower our dependence on a single ‘home-run’ technology. As previously communicated during the first quarter, we announced agreements to commercialize products and technologies that include Optical Technology for the LED Lighting Market, a groundbreaking Lupus diagnostic and monitoring technology, and cleansers and skin care products made with green tea extract. Additionally, we formed two strategic industry alliances and broadened our service offerings to include IP Valuation and Market Assessment services, as well as a technology sourcing business. I believe that we are taking the appropriate steps to develop the platform necessary to achieve sustainable growth and profitability, and in turn build shareholder value over time.”
