Indeed.

according to the wiki interpretation, In January 2007, a U.S. District court invalidated one patent owned by Qualcomm, which Qualcomm claimed had been incorporated in H.264 in violation of its patent.

so i'm thinking that there may be multiple patents involved in the format, too bad

There are many patents involved. Check out MPEG LA.
