BY OVERNIGHT COURIER

Competitive Technologies, Inc.

To the Shareholders:

     I  do NOT agree with the Company's statement in the Form 8-K which it filed
on  September  13,2010.

     I  have  NOT  violated  my  fiduciary duties to the Corporation. I have NOT
violated  the  Competitive  Technologies, Inc. Corporate Code of Conduct. I have
NOT  violated any duty of undivided loyalty. I am NOT guilty of any conflicts of
interest.  I have NOT improperly utilized company assets for personal benefit. I
have  NOT  imparted  inaccurate  or  incomplete  communications  to the Board of
Directors  or  the public, and I have NOT withheld information from the Board of
Directors.  To the extent that I am alleged to be "guilty" of "other matters," I
have  no  idea  to  what  that  statement  refers,  but  I  have  NOT engaged in
misconduct.

     To  clarify,  and  in fairness to the Shareholders and others reading these
statements,  some  background  is  in  order  so  that  my disagreement with the
Company's  statement  can  be  understood  in  context:

     As  the  Board  members know, during the Summer, I made it known to various
members  that  I  was concerned about the apparent unauthorized dissemination of
confidential  "insider" information outside the Company. As I related to several
Board  members,  this  was  of particular concern because the Company was in the
midst  of  a  critical  fund-raising  effort  and  I  believed  the unauthorized
disclosures  could  have  a  profoundly  detrimental  effect  on  that effort. I
strongly  urged the Board to conduct an investigation to address these concerns.
The  Board  chose  not  to  pursue  such  an  investigation.

     Shortly thereafter, on August 5, 2010,1 received an email from the Chairman
of  the  Compensation  Committee  advising  me  that I should expect a facsimile
notice  that  the  Company  had  chosen not to renew my Employment Agreement and
allow  it  to  expire on its last day -February 1, 2011. Notably, no "cause" was
mentioned  in  either  the  email  or  the  notice.

     Indeed,  rather  than  even  suggesting  that the decision not to renew the
Employment Agreement was based on anything adverse to the Company, the email and
the  notice contemplated (as had prior verbal discussions between me and various
members  of  the  Board) my continuation as the Company's Chairman of the Board,
albeit  transitioning  the  roles  of


Competitive Technologies, Inc.       -2-
September  15,  2010

President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  to  others.  This  was  an  idea that
originated  with  the  Board,  not  with me, although I have always stood ready,
willing  and  able  to  continue  to  serve.

     Further  to  this  idea, on August 30, 2010, the Company's attorney sent my
attorney  a  proposed  substitute  Employment  Agreement,  to cover my continued
employment  as  Chairman.  Still,  there  was  no mention of anything resembling
"cause,"  or  any  other  form  of  negative  performance  or  conduct.

     At  my  instruction,  on  September  2,  2010,  my  attorney  submitted  a
counter-proposal to the Company's attorney, which, he was advised, was summarily
rejected  by  the  Board.

     It was only then, on September 3, 2010, after the effort to negotiate a new
Employment  Agreement  was  abandoned  by  the  Board, that members of the Board
attempted  to  convene  a  meeting  for  the  purported  purpose of amending the
Company's  By-Laws and terminating me for alleged "cause." The actions attempted
at  the  meeting  were in violation of the Company's By-Laws and in breach of my
Employment  Agreement. Notably, there was STILL no basis for the alleged "cause"
for  my  removal  and  termination  described.

     Apparently recognizing that its attempted actions on September 3, 2010 were
a  nullity,  these Board members tried again on September 13, 2010. As you know,
on  that  day, they took the action described in the Form 8-K statement that was
filed  that  day.

     The  first  time  I  heard  that  anyone  accused  me  of not fulfilling my
fiduciary  responsibility  to  the  Company  or  its Shareholders, violating the
Company's  Code  of  Corporate Conduct or that I was guilty of any other alleged
misconduct, was when I heard it during the telephonic Board meeting on September
13,  2010.

     Until  then, as noted above, the Company and I were engaged in negotiations
concerning  my  continuation  as  Chairman.  These  "11lh  hour"  allegations of
misconduct  ring  hollow, lack credibility, and are inconsistent with the facts.

                              Sincerely,

                              /s/ John B. Nano
