Ladies and Gentlemen:

     You have requested our opinion as counsel for Competitive Technologies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the public offering by the Company of up to 50,000
shares of Company common stock issuable in connection with legal services
provided to the Company.

     We have examined the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 in the
form to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about August
4, 2008 (the "Registration Statement"). We further have examined the Certificate
of Incorporation, Bylaws, and applicable minutes of the Company as a basis for
the opinion hereafter expressed.

     Based on the foregoing examination, we are of the opinion that, upon
issuance and sale in the manner described in the Registration Statement, the
shares of common stock covered by the Registration Statement will be legally
issues, fully paid, and nonassessable.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

                              Very truly yours,

                              \s\ Cutler Law Group
