In this patent application (2024-111453), Canon explores the super telephoto zooms that ended up with the Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM. However, there are some other interesting designs in here worth exploring so let's go through them and you'll have to tell me if Canon should have gone for broke and made a 200-1000mm. [...] Source
At first, when I was writing up this patent application (2024-082112), I was leaning toward what others are mentioning on the internet that these are for ILC (interchangeable lens cameras) but after reading more, and looking at the back focus distances involved, I think it's more likely that these are for a compact rangefinder styled [...] Source

As you may be aware, major defocus happens when the contrast is too far out of focus that it's just soft with no visible contrast. When this happens, it's nearly impossible for [...]
In this patent application (2024-072582) Canon discusses improving the magnets that drive the motors on various lenses that attach to the camera.
