Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

On July 23,  2003,  Productivity  Technologies  Corp.  (the  "Company")  engaged
Follmer  Rudzewicz PLC  ("Follmer") as its  independent  auditor.  As previously
reported,  in March  2003,  Doeren  Mayhew,  the  Company's  former  independent
auditor,  terminated its  client-auditor  relationship with the Company.  Doeren
Mayhew's  resignation  was  based  upon its  decision  to  terminate  its  audit
engagements with all public companies.

During the  Company's two most recent  fiscal years and the  subsequent  interim
period since June 30, 2003, the Company has not consulted  Follmer regarding the
application of accounting  privileges to any transaction or proposed transaction
or any  matter as to which  there was a  disagreement  with  Doeren  Mayhew.  As
previously  reported  in the Current  Report on Form 8-K dated  March 24,  2003,
there was no such disagreement with Doeren Mayhew.


                                    SIGNATURE

     Pursuant to the  requirements  of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant  has duly  caused  this  report  to be  signed  on its  behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
