That's not how patents work unless they're design patents.
Boston Dynamics invented quite a lot and if their claim is true that 7 patents were infringed that's huge.

Speaking as someone who processes patents the number of items they would have had to have copied from SEVEN patents is huge.
It's not like you invent a thing send the design in and that's it. Every invention can have as many claims as they can back up.
Their leg swing patent has over 20 claims for example (pat no. 11447195 you can take that number to the government site and it's public information)

China has a state sponsored business to steal intellectual property.
It's BAD.
And their courts favor Chinese companies.
