Competitive Technologies, Inc. Licenses Homocysteine Assay to Genzyme; Genzyme's Equal Diagnostic Homocysteine Assays Carry Pass-Through License to Customers.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. -- Competitive Technologies, Inc. (AMEX: CTT) today announced that a homocysteine assay license has been granted to Genzyme Diagnostics under CTT's U.S. Patent Number 4,940,658 relating to homocysteine medical tests. The license includes an initial license fee and payments, releasing Equal Diagnostics (a Genzyme business) customers of any obligation to pay royalties to CTT for homocysteine test results obtained using Genzyme's Equal Diagnostics assays in the past. The license also includes royalties on future product sales.

"We are very pleased to issue this license to Genzyme, a recognized leader in biotechnology and diagnostics," said Aris D. Despo, CTT's Senior VP Life Sciences. "This agreement marks another successful step in CTT's active licensing and royalty collection program for the homocysteine assay. We are pleased to develop this relationship with Genzyme, which also opens the door for future collaboration."

"This license demonstrates our commitment to our customers and their needs," stated Donald E. Pogorzelski, President of Genzyme Diagnostics, "and, permits Genzyme Equal customers to continue performing homocysteine assays under Genzyme's license with CTT."

Dr. D. J. Freed, CTT's President and CEO, said, "The agreement with Genzyme is further validation of CTT's homocysteine licensing program. CTT continues to expand its recurring revenue stream by building valued relationships with industry leaders."

The homocysteine patent is derived from discoveries made by CTT's clients, Drs. Robert Allen and Sally Stabler from the University of Colorado, and the late Dr. John Lindenbaum from Columbia University. The license does not relieve Genzyme's customers for royalties on past or future assays for methylmalonic acid, for which CTT will separately require a license to perform such assays.
