                                 CERTIFICATION
                                 -------------

I,  John  B.  Nano,  Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief
Financial  Officer  and  Director,  certify  that:

1.     I  have  reviewed  this  Report on Form 10-Q of Competitive Technologies,
Inc.  (the  "Company")  for  the  period  ending  January  31,  2008;

2.     Based  on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
of  a  material  fact  or  omit  to  state a material fact necessary to make the
statements  made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were
made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to  the  period  covered  by this report;

3.     Based  on  my  knowledge,  the  financial statements, and other financial
information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial  condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of,
and  for,  the  periods  presented  in  this  report;

4.     I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures  (as  defined  in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
Company  and  have:

     (a)  designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to  be  designed  under  our
          supervision,  to  ensure  that  material  information  relating to the
          Company,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us
          by  others  within  those  entities, particularly during the period in
          which  this  report  is  being  prepared;

     (b)  evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company's  disclosure controls
          and  procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
          of  the  period  covered  by this report based on such evaluation; and

     (c)  disclosed  in  this  report  any  change  in  the  Company's  internal
          control  over  financial  reporting that occurred during the Company's
          most recent fiscal quarter (the Company's fourth fiscal quarter in the
          case  of  an  annual  report)  that  has  materially  affected,  or is
          reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control
          over  financial  reporting.

5.     I  have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control
over  financial  reporting, to the Company's auditors and the audit committee of
the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  (or  persons  performing  the  equivalent
functions):

     (a)  all significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses  in  the
          design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which
          are  reasonably  likely  to  adversely affect the Company's ability to
          record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial  information; and

     (b)  any fraud,  whether  or  not  material,  that  involves  management or
          other  employees who have a significant role in the Company's internal
          control  over  financial  reporting.

                              Date:  March  17,  2008
