ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT On June 1, 2010, we signed a common stock purchase agreement with Crisnic Fund SA, a Costa Rican investment corporation, for the purchase of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock at 85% of the volume weighted average price of our common stock on the date the registration statement with respect to such shares is declared effective by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Concurrently with entering into the common stock purchase agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Crisnic Fund SA. Under the registration rights agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement related to the transaction with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") covering the shares that will be issued to Crisnic Fund SA under the common stock purchase agreement. On June 2, 2010 we amended the agreement to provide for earlier payment of proceeds to CTT. In consideration for entering into the agreement, upon execution of the common stock purchase agreement we will issue to Crisnic Fund SA 75,000 shares of our common stock as a fee upon approval from the NYSE Amex Equities stock market. The common stock purchase agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us. There are no negative covenants, restrictions on future fundings, penalties or liquidated damages in the agreement. The proceeds received by the Company under the common stock purchase agreement will be used to fund general corporate operations, including without limitation the marketing and sale of our pain management device.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9. b. In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9. c. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding.

Exhibit 99.1 For immediate release COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES RAISING CAPITAL TO ACCELERATE CALMARE PAIN THERAPY TREATMENT SALES FAIRFIELD, CT - (JUNE 2, 2010) - COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (NYSE AMEX: CTT) today announced that it has signed an agreement to raise over $5 million by selling 2 million shares of equity to Crisnic Fund, S.A. based on a 15% discount from the volume weighted average price on the date the SEC declares the registration effective, as detailed in the 8-K being filed today. The funds raised will provide financing for CTT to more aggressively sell its innovative Calmare Pain Therapy Treatment, which treats chronic neuropathic and oncologic pain, both in the U.S. and internationally. "Our Calmare Pain Therapy Treatment sales have been increasing each quarter, and we expect sales to grow more rapidly as doctors and their patients observe the growing body of evidence-based research that shows Calmare successfully treats the various types of oncologic and neuropathic pain suffered by millions of patients worldwide, including 75 million Americans who suffer from chronic pain. Evidence shows Calmare pain therapy effectively treats chronic cancer pain (CCP) and is the only highly effective treatment for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) without harmful, adverse side effects," said John B. Nano, CTT's Chairman, President and CEO. "Providing this new, non-invasive way to treat pain other than prescribing opioids such as morphine continues to be a key focus of our mission to improve the quality of life for patients. We expect to revolutionize how chronic pain is treated globally." Calmare is being used to treat international patients in Italy, India, Greece, Bangladesh, and U.S. patients at clinics in Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, Florida, Connecticut and Rhode Island. In addition to treating pain associated with cancer and cancer treatments, the Calmare device also successfully treats chronic neuropathic pain resulting from shingles, failed back surgery, phantom limb syndrome, sciatica, spinal stenosis and other maladies. The non-invasive Calmare pain therapy device uses the biophysical "Scrambler Therapy" technology, which was developed in Italy by CTT's client, Professor Giuseppe Marineo. CTT's partner, GEOMC Co. Ltd. of Seoul, Korea is currently manufacturing the Calmare device, which has U.S. FDA clearance and European Union CE Mark clearance for sales.
