Of course, there are. But the price of asserting them in a court of law -- that's the rub. Boeing, Lockheed, et al are lawyered-up and can pursue legal action in perpetuity. For their part, kit makers are looking at legal fees that would dwarf their profit margin.
The big companies have a risk that far exceeds any potential legal cost, that being, they have allowed their patents, trademarks and copyrights to be freely used for decades. In such circumstance, a company is at serious risk of losing such rights.
