Gentlemen  and  Ladies:

     Pursuant  to Rule 461 of the Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act
of  1933,  as  amended, Competitive Technologies, Inc. (the "Registrant") hereby
requests  that  the effective date of the above-captioned Registration Statement

practicable.

     The  Registrant  acknowledges  that:

     -   should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission
from taking any action with respect to the filing;

     -   the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant
from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in
the filing; and

     -   the Registrant may not assert staff comments and the declaration of
effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any
person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
