FAIRFIELD, Conn., April 13, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Competitive Technologies,
Inc. (OTCQX:CTTC) announced today that it has recently signed a new
distribution agreement, including the sale of 52 Calmare(r) pain therapy medical
devices, with a wholly owned subsidiary of Hospital Consulting SpA, for Italy
and Malta. The subsidiary, Life Episteme Italia (–LEI–), was previously
partially (51%) owned by Life Episteme Group (–LEG–) of Geneva.

In December 2010, CTTC cancelled its distribution agreement with LEG for all
countries and reclaimed into inventory Calmare(r) devices that had previously
been sold to LEG, but for which CTTC had not been paid. Effective March 31,
2011, CTTC and LEG officially concluded all prior agreements and LEG completed
its withdrawal from its ownership in LEI.

CTTC looks forward to a long and productive relationship with LEI. Both parties
expect to provide the Calmare(r) device to hospitals, physicians and medical
groups in Italy and Malta with the goal of providing ongoing relief to patients
suffering from chronic pain.

CTTC remains confident that it will be profitable in its first quarter ended
March 31, 2011, and throughout the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The
agreement with LEI is one of several agreements the Company is in the process
of negotiating in the U.S. and international locations, all of which are
intended to enable Prof. Giuseppe Marineo–s –Scrambler Therapy– to relieve
suffering from neuropathic pain. As sales of the Calmare(r) device expand, CTTC–s
revenue and net profit are expected to grow.
