Exhibit 99.1                                               For immediate release

               COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES THAT NYSE AMEX
                        HAS POSTPONED DELISTING HEARING

FAIRFIELD,  CT  -  (JULY  21, 2010) - COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (NYSE AMEX:
CTT)  today  announced  that  the  NYSE  Amex  (the  Exchange)  has  postponed
indefinitely  the  delisting hearing it had scheduled for July 22, 2010, pending
review of the final completion of CTT's sale of two million shares of CTT common
stock  to  Crisnic  Fund.  The  fund  raise will provide CTT capital to increase
shareholder  equity  required  to  retain  the  Exchange  listing,  and  to more
aggressively sell its non-invasive Calmare  Pain Therapy Treatment device.   The
transaction is currently being funded following the July 14, 2010, date that the
SEC  declared the required registration statement effective, and CTT anticipates
that  the  final  closing  of  the  fund  raise  will  occur  shortly.

" We have worked hard to meet the Exchange's standards and will continue to work
to  maximize  shareholder value as we increase sales of our non-invasive Calmare
Pain  Therapy  Treatment  medical  device,"  said  John B. Nano, CTT's Chairman,
President,  and  CEO.

"Calmare  pain  therapy  is  the  only  highly  effective  treatment  for
chemotherapy-induced  peripheral  neuropathy (CIPN) without the harmful, adverse
side  effects  of narcotic pain killers," Mr. Nano continued.  "From the growing
body  of  evidence-based  patient outcomes we know that in addition to CIPN, our
Calmare  device  successfully  treats  chronic  neuropathic  and  oncologic pain
resulting  from  cancer,  phantom  limb syndrome, failed back surgery, sciatica,
spinal  stenosis,  shingles  and  other  maladies."

The  non-invasive  Calmare  pain  therapy device uses the biophysical "Scrambler
Therapy"  technology,  which  was  developed in Italy by CTT's client, Professor
Giuseppe  Marineo.  CTT's  partner,  GEOMC  Co.  Ltd.  of  Seoul,  Korea  is
manufacturing  the  Calmare  device,  which  has U.S. FDA clearance and European
Union  CE  Mark  clearance  for  sales.  For more information about Calmare Pain
