Update: Canon News has dug a bit further and come to the conclusion that these optical formulas are for a fisheye due to the lenses having a 175 degree field of view.

A new patent showing an optical formula for a new wide angle prime has appeared. The full frame lens in the application is an EF 15mm f/4, while the APS-C optical formula of a EF-M 9.5mm f/4 shows a shorter backfocus than an EF-S lens and could actually be EF-M.
