Canon Filed a patent for 14-145mm F3.4-6.5mm lens. The website says the lens is made for a sensor smaller than APS-C and bigger then 1.5inch sensor of G1X Mark II.
Possibly the lens being designed for a compact camera, may be for Canon G1X Mark IV ?

In this age of ever better cell phone cameras, a compact camera with a decent zoom that takes quality pictures is the most plausible formula for an attractive travel camera imho.
This lens might be the basis for such a beast, provided it folds reasonably tightly.
It does not look easy to make or inexpensive, 17 elements in 10 groups. Putting it into a quality body seems natural.
I’d expect the associated G1X Mark IV to come in around the $2000 mark.
