COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS ADJOURNED TO FEBRUARY 2, 2007

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS DID NOT TAKE PLACE

Fairfield, CT (January 17, 2007) - Competitive Technologies, Inc.-(AMEX: CTT), a full service technology transfer and licensing provider, announced that IVS Associates, Inc., the independent Inspectors of Election (“Inspectors”) has preliminarily confirmed that 39.9% of CTT’s outstanding shares were present in person or by proxy at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders which was convened yesterday. CTT's by-laws require that a quorum of a majority of the shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote be present in order to conduct business, therefore, the election of directors did not take place since CTT did not believe that a quorum was present. In addition, based upon the preliminary results provided by IVS Associates, Inc., the Company has determined that the motion to adjourn the Annual Meeting until February 2, 2007 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time at the American Stock Exchange, 86 Trinity Place, New York, NY, was approved. The dissident group has claimed today that a quorum was present. Based upon the report from the Inspectors, CTT believes that their claim is inaccurate.

“We urge our stockholders to vote their shares in support of the Company nominees as soon as possible,” said D.J. Freed, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Competitive Technologies, Inc. “We are looking forward to moving beyond this proxy contest and focusing all of our efforts on growing the business.”
