Item 8.01. Other Events.

Competitive Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), previously disclosed that it had received a demand letter from an attorney representing two of our officers (neither of whom were our Chief Executive, Operating or Financial Officers), demanding approximately $300,000 in total for commission payments alleged to be due them for fiscal year 2006 under our prior annual incentive compensation plan, which was terminated in November 2005. The letter also claimed that these individuals anticipated that they would be entitled to at least an aggregate additional $350,000 in commission payments in fiscal year 2007.
 
During the quarter ended January 31, 2007, the Company expects to take a charge of approximately $200,000 in severance costs in full and final settlement of any claims against the Company, pursuant to the terms of a separation agreement effective January 6, 2007, with one of the two individuals (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the individual also agreed to resign his employment, and executed a release in favor of the Company. The severance payments will be paid in bi-weekly installments over calendar 2007.
 
The Company expects to resolve all outstanding issues with the other individual within the next week to ten days.
