I'm not familiar with this term, "submarine" patent application. But
don't they have one year from the date of first publication to apply for
a patent? It seems that this could count as first publication, so they
would have one year from now to get their patent application in. As I
said before, the NSA has indicated similar plans if Clipper is ever
reverse engineered.
