RE:  COMPETITIVE  TECHNOLOGIES,  INC.

     FILED  SEPTEMBER  25,  2009
     FILE  NO.  333-161216

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
be  accelerated so that the Registration Statement will become effective at 2:00
p.m.  Eastern  Standard  Time  on  October  1,  2009,  or  as soon thereafter as
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.
