Competitive Technologies Reclaims Rights to Sexual Dysfunction Technology

FAIRFIELD, Conn., Jan. 22, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Competitive Technologies,
Inc. (AMEX:CTT) announced today that it has successfully reclaimed rights to its
sexual dysfunction technology by terminating the license it had previously
granted to Palatin Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:PTN). CTT now has complete control
over license rights to the PT-14 sexual dysfunction technology. PTN has agreed
to pay CTT an amount of $800,000 within one business day.

"CTT is continuing discussions with major pharmaceutical companies interested in
licensing this innovative technology," said John B. Nano, CTT's Chairman,
President and CEO. "CTT has always defended the patent rights of our clients,
and will continue to do so. We are glad to bring this matter to a successful
conclusion and to be able to focus on potential development of this technology
by a major pharmaceutical company."

Commonly referred to as PT-14, the technology, a peptide analogue of alpha-MSH
(alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone), was invented by a team of researchers at
CTT's client, the University of Arizona. A Notice of Termination for the license
was sent to PTN on September 10, 2007. The license was originally granted to PTN
by CTT on March 31, 1998.

Mr. Nano continued, "This is another example of a CTT technology being at the
forefront of the paradigm shift to treat individuals with integrative medicine,
combining traditional and holistic medicine. CTT's management team is focused on
creating value from our portfolio of innovative technologies. We are
aggressively marketing the pain management therapy, breast cancer detection
test, MC Square stress reduction device (www.relaxmc.com), solar panels, UAD
surgical prosthetics, and the LED portfolio technologies to drive revenue
growth, improve profitability and create shareholder value. Our full technology
portfolio may be viewed on our website."
