For Immediate Release:


          CRYPTOGRAPHY SOFTWARE OF CTT CLIENT TO BE USED UNDER

                       DMOD AND LYCOS AGREEMENT

Fairfield, CT - (March 7, 2000) - Competitive Technologies, INC.
(AMEX: CTT)
announced today that Digital Media On Demand, Inc. (DMOD) recently reported
that the encryption technology of CTT's client, NTRU Cryptosystems, Inc. is
being utilized under the agreement between DMOD and Lycos, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCOS).
DMOD has agreed that its secure media distribution software technology,
including NTRU cryptography software, will be used by Lycos within its Sonique
Media Player to perform secure downloads of digital music.  Digital Media On
Demand offers unique technologies for digital content creators, distributors
and gatekeepers.  DMOD reported that its strength, however, is its unparalleled
encryption technology.  Working with NTRU Cryptosystems, Inc. creators of the
world's fastest public key cryptography system, DMOD has become the only
company encrypting files "on the fly."  The patent-pending multiple key
encryption technology offers content developers the ability to mark and protect
up to one key per second per digital file for enhanced security, making illegal
use virtually impossible and extremely time consuming.  With more and more
music being distributed via the Internet, for example, security becomes an
extremely important issue to record labels, producers and artists alike.

DMOD also reported forming an agreement with Lycos, one of the world's most
visited Web destinations, to enable their popular Sonique Media Player with
DMOD's secure distribution technology.  DMOD's client software will give users
of the Sonique Media Player access to DMOD-enabled content and the ability to
perform secure downloads of digital music. Brian Kalinowski, director of
digital rights management for Lycos commented in the DMOD release  "Lycos is
committed to providing users with an open format environment for digital music
playback. DMOD's approach effectively complements our strategy of providing
secure distribution regardless of file format.  The Sonique Media Player will
improve its universal appeal with this added capability."  Brett Fasullo,
DMOD's Chief Operating Officer commented further in the release, "This is
another example of Lycos leading the way for the adoption of digital
downloading as a viable commercial model.  We're excited Lycos sees the
potential benefit of the integration of DMOD technologies to making that
happen."
