Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 22, 2006, Competitive Technologies, Inc. (“CTT”) announced that that the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of Metabolite Laboratories, Inc. (“MLI”) and CTT dismissing the writ of certiorari previously granted to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings d/b/a LabCorp (“LabCorp”) in a homocysteine patent case. LabCorp had filed for the writ of certiorari seeking to overturn an infringement ruling in a patent case in which CTT's patent rights, and those of its clients, had been upheld by both the U.S. District Court and the Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit. The matter originated in 1999, when MLI and CTT filed a complaint against LabCorp alleging breach of contract, patent infringement and unpaid royalties for performing homocysteine assays using patents owned by CTT.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
