This is a curious patent from Canon. These are without a doubt higher-end lenses and are certainly for APS-C. Canon specifically mentions that these types of lenses would be advantageous for video as the center of gravity doesn't change.
Fixed-length zoom lenses are known in which the overall length of the lens does not change [. . . ]

This patent application (Japan 2023-125903) has a lot of esoteric fast zoom lenses in some very nontraditional focal lengths. Many of the embodiments are missing the image height, however since we also have the half angle of view, we can work backward to verify if these lenses are meant for full frame or for APS-C. canonrumors.com »

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.
In this patent application (2025-001041), Canon describes improvements to how dual lens VR lenses focus and calibrate the focus across both lenses. This series of patents (there have been a few) made me marvel at how much we take for granted with our stereoscopic lenses – our eyes- and how seamlessly they adjust independently without [.
In this patent application (2024-163673), Canon is exploring some lesser-quality super telephoto primes. Could be good news for us peons that don't want to drop 5 digits on a super-telephoto prime.
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
In this patent application (2024-078721), Canon is showing off some embodiments of some smaller standard F2. 8 zooms. While at first glance, this seems unlikely we should also keep in mind that Tamron's smaller 28-70 F2.
In this patent application (2024-076793), Canon shows off some embodiments of some lenses with internal zoom and focusing. The first embodiment that I'm going to talk about is a constant 60mm in lens length and a constant F4 aperture 12-30mm lens.
