Yes, Nokia is preparing a disclosure related to VP8. 

What comes to H.264, the Nokia IPR related to that has been disclosed to those SDOs where that codec has been developed, except for the RTP payload format that is in the IETF. I assume all that is publicly available to interested parties. If I recall correctly, some pointers were floating around prior to IETF 85. I'm sure others on this list know that side better than me.
