This is patent troll right?
If I am to trust wikipedia, Nokia had nothing to do with the development of HEVC.
The HEVC format was jointly developed by more than a dozen organisations across the world. The majority of active patent contributions towards the development of the HEVC format came from five organizations: Samsung Electronics (4,249 patents), General Electric (1,127 patents),[10] M&K Holdings (907 patents), NTT (878 patents), and JVC Kenwood (628 patents).[11] Other patent holders include Fujitsu, Apple, Canon, Columbia University, KAIST, Kwangwoon University, MIT, Sungkyunkwan University, Funai, Hikvision, KBS, KT and NEC.[12]
Also:
When the MPEG LA terms were announced, commenters noted that a number of prominent patent holders were not part of the group. Among these were AT&T, Microsoft, Nokia, and Motorola. Speculation at the time was that these companies would form their own licensing pool to compete with or add to the MPEG LA pool

Something doesn’t seem right.
No, Nokia do own a bunch of patents on it, I’m pretty sure they also created (and have patents on) the HEIF format used in HEIC/AVIF as well.
Edit: search results were failing me, but here’s a couple.
