Paul J. Kremer

Paul J. Kremer is a patent litigator with experience defending clients across diverse technological fields, including environmental and industrial processes, telecommunications, and pharmaceuticals. Currently a Partner in Benesch's Litigation Practice Group, he previously served as Of Counsel at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP.

Mr. Kremer's practice primarily involves representing defendants in high-stakes patent infringement actions. His experience includes defending major telecommunications providers against assertions of Wi-Fi and LTE networking patents, including those related to "Wi-Fi Calling" technology. He has also handled Hatch-Waxman claims on behalf of a multiple sclerosis drug manufacturer. Notably, he led the defense for companies in the coal-fired power industry against a series of nine-figure patent infringement actions concerning pollution abatement technologies, such as mercury control systems.

His tracked cases include Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. et al. v. CERT Operations II LLC et al. and Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. et al. v. Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. et al. In these matters, Mr. Kremer acted as lead counsel for the defendants in litigation involving patents related to mercury control technologies for coal-fired power plants. While his clients in the CERT Operations cases were ultimately found liable for indirect and willful infringement in a $57 million verdict in March 2024, which was upheld in November 2025, the Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. defendants had previously settled. Beyond patent litigation, Mr. Kremer also has a broad commercial litigation practice, including successful efforts in real estate and construction disputes.

While Mr. Kremer's professional profiles highlight his extensive patent litigation experience, explicit details regarding his involvement in PTAB or IPR proceedings are not reliably sourced. He earned his J.D. from Harvard Law School and holds a B.A. in Political Science and Economics from Loyola University Maryland. He is admitted to practice in New Jersey and before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, and practices in New York.
