Fairfield, CT (January 24, 2007) - Competitive Technologies, Inc. - (AMEX: CTT), a full service technology transfer and licensing provider, announced that the Company reached an agreement today with John B. Nano relating to a prejudgment remedy hearing scheduled to proceed today before Federal Court Magistrate Judge Thomas P. Smith. Pursuant to agreement, the hearing was cancelled and CTT will post a bond. According to the judge’s order issued today, “the parties have agreed, and upon their agreement the court has ordered, that a bond in the amount of $2.5 million to serve as security shall be posted by a reputable insurance company by the close of business on January 26, 2007. The court further notes that this measure saves substantial litigation costs to both sides of this lawsuit, as well as conserves valuable judicial resources, which can be better spent assisting the parties with a possible resolution of this case in its entirety.” The court has agreed to assist the parties in expedited settlement discussions.

“We believe that posting this bond is the most prudent course of action and will save continued litigation costs for both parties, and the shareholders’ money,” commented D.J. Freed, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Competitive Technologies, Inc.
