May 14, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Competitive Technologies, Inc.’s (AMEX: CTT) bone nanoparticle biomaterial technology has been issued a third patent, supporting its first two patents and providing additional claims regarding the preparation of the primary components of the bone cement.

CTT has an exclusive agreement with the University of South Carolina Research Foundation (USCRF) to license and commercialize the injectable, flowable, fast-curing, calcium phosphate-based nanotechnology biomaterial developed by Dr. Brian R. Genge, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at USC.

CTT’s licensee for human spinal applications of the bone biomaterial, Soteira Inc., completed a third fund raise providing Soteira a total of approximately $24 million and access to an additional $6 million. Soteira is using the funds on their program to gain U.S. FDA and European CE Mark clearance for sales of the bone biomaterial. CTT has the opportunity to offer licenses to the bone biomaterial for other skeletal applications, as well as dental and veterinary repairs.

Competitive Technologies, established in 1968, provides distribution, patent and technology transfer, sales and licensing services focused on the needs of its customers and matching those requirements with commercially viable product or technology solutions.
