In this particular case, it appears that patent application was filed in the
US on 2021-11-24 and disclosed on 2021-11-26.

However, there was a pre-dating Chinese patent that was applied for on
2018-06-06. I have no access to whether the authors of the document or the
active participants in the WG would have had reason to know about the
Chinese patent.

That should not detract from the point you want to discuss.

Subject: Late IPR disclosures

Hi John,

I was reading draft-ietf-6man-ipv6-alt-mark which is currently being 
evaluated by the IESG.  There was an IPR disclosure after the Last 
Call, in addition to the two disclosures which were filed before 
that.  It is not possible for the working group to evaluate 
alternative solutions (Section 5.2 of RFC 8179) when an IPR 
disclosure is filed this late in the process.

Is this another case of too late to fix?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
