JPEG is patented, VP9 is patented, and AV1 is patented. Luckily, baseline JPEG is licensed under royalty-free terms and so are VP9 and AV1. The issue is never the patents but rather the licensing of those patents.

Patented as in patent rolls demanding fees for it. AV1 is not patented, as in trolls can get lost.
