Canon continues to patent optical formulas for fast RF mount prime lenses. This patent deals with limiting aberration fluctuation when focusing.

Canon is currently missing RF L prime lenses wider than 50mm (I'm not counting the RF 5.2mm f/2.8 Dual Lens Fisheye), and I expect that to change relatively soon.
