In this patent application (2025-023282), Canon is looking to make the power zoom motors much smaller for future lenses. Canon is exploring using 1, 2, or even more voice coil motors to move the elements necessary to zoom the lens.
In this patent application (2025-019790), Canon explores the use of more resin elements to make up some pretty interesting lenses. We have to preface this by saying that a lot of Canon lenses have resin elements; it is not unheard of, even in the realms of L lenses.
This is an interesting patent application (2025-012993) showing a strange lens configuration. The embodiments show a potential RF fish eye zoom, even though that is not the focus of the patent application.
