Managing Partner
Dr. Moshe Tritel holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in Cell Biology and Genetics from Weill Cornell Graduate School, where his research focused on intracellular HIV capsid assembly. He also completed a postdoctoral fellowship in vaccine immunology at the NIH’s Vaccine Research Center.
Dr. Tritel’s career in patent law is extensive. He began at Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer Baratz (the firm’s current name) and continued his work at Webb and Associates and JMB Davis Ben-David. He then served as the Director of Intellectual Property at Pluri Biotech and later as the Vice President of Intellectual Property at 1E Therapeutics. Most recently, he contributed his expertise at Weiss & Arons, LLP, a U.S. patent law firm.
Throughout his career, Dr. Tritel has drafted hundreds of patent applications, primarily in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. His experience includes prosecuting thousands of patent applications across a diverse range of technologies, conducting competitor IP surveillance, and performing numerous competitive landscape and patentability analyses. He has also been actively involved in European and Israeli oppositions, as well as due diligence analyses.
Dr. Tritel is happily married with six children. He resides in Bet Shemesh, Israel, where he enjoys studying classical Jewish texts and exercising outdoors. He views the establishment of the Tritel Patent firm as the culmination and natural progression of his extensive experience across a broad spectrum of intellectual property matters.
Mordechai brings a rare combination of deep engineering experience and seasoned intellectual property practice. Before entering the IP field, he spent 16 years as a systems engineer working on complex, mission-critical technologies, including communications systems, signal processing, and secure architectures. He holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and an M.S. in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University, and has taught advanced digital communications as an adjunct faculty member in the Washington, DC area.
Since transitioning to intellectual property practice in 2008, Mordechai has drafted and prosecuted patent applications in the U.S., Israel, and internationally, working with clients ranging from individual inventors to multinational companies. He is known for his ability to “speak engineering” with inventors—translating real-world technical concepts into clear, strategically valuable patent protection. His experience includes both IP firm and in-house roles, most recently serving as Chief of Intellectual Property for NeuroBlade Ltd, a company specializing in hardware acceleration for query analysis, where he built and managed patent, trade secret, and trademark portfolios in a fast-growing environment.
Mordechai’s areas of specialization include hardware-accelerated and high-performance data processing; streaming data processing, optics, navigation, and tracking; cybersecurity and encrypted communications; signal and image processing; systems integration and architecture design; wireless and wired communications; networking; and advanced algorithms.
