Yes, they've made claims on AV1, claims that have never been tested in court.

You need to understand that these are parasitic businesses. They didn't develop AV1. They didn't contribute to AV1. But they will make any claim they think they can get away with.

Show me the court case they've won that validates their claims on AV1.

AV1 was created by a consortium of some of the biggest tech companies in the world, and "all technology was vetted in a rigorous patent review process before being integrated into the final spec."[0]

On the other side, you've got patent trolls who are upset that their shitty business model is coming to an end. They're just being loud as they're losing.
