SUBSEQUENT EVENT [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENT	15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On April 8, 2014, Mr. Giuseppe Marineo, an inventor of the Calmare® pain therapy device, and Delta Research and Development ("Delta"), Mr. Marineo's research company, and Delta International Services and Logistics ("DIS&L"), Delta's commercial arm in which Mr. Marineo is the sole beneficiary of all proceeds as its founder and sole owner (collectively the "Group"), issued a press release (the "Group's Press Release") regarding Competitive Technologies, Inc. ("CTI" or the "Company") stating that the Company did not have authority to sell, distribute and manufacture Calmare as an exclusive agent of the Group. CTI issued a corporate response in a press release dated April 11, 2014 stating that the Group's Press Release was inaccurate and has since been purged by the overseeing body of wire services. As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K on April 16, 2014, this dispute between the Company and the Group is over the validity of a 2012 Amendment to a Sales and Representation Agreement (the "Amendment") which, if valid and enforceable, would have compromised its rights to sell, distribute and manufacture Calmare as an exclusive agent of the Group in the global marketplace, especially in the European, Middle Eastern and North African ("EMENA") territory which was responsible for approximately 70% of gross Calmare sales in 2011. However, the Company believes that the Amendment is neither valid nor enforceable as it was never duly signed or authorized and subsequently deemed null and void as disclosed on April 16, 2014 in the Form 10-K filing. Therefore, the parties' rights are determined by an earlier agreement whereby the Company still possesses the authority to sell, distribute and manufacture Calmare as a world-wide exclusive agent of the Group. On April 16, 2014, counsel for the Group ("Group Counsel") sent a cease and desist letter ("Cease and Desist Letter") to the Company, requesting a confirmation that the Company would no longer hold itself out as an agent of the Group permitted to sell, distribute and manufacture Calmare world-wide including the EMENA territory. The Company responded on April 25, 2014 to the Cease and Desist Letter, disputing Group Counsel's interpretation of the events surrounding the execution of the Amendment. At this time the Company is pursuing a reasonable and amicable resolution to the situation.
