Every Tuesday the US government clears a new batch of brand names for products that are not on sale yet. We compile that list the same day.
That deadline is the whole point. These companies are not considering a launch. They are committed to one, on a clock, and right now they are ordering packaging, tooling, freight, print and shelf space.
Compiled 11 August 2026. Counts are read from our own records each time this page is rebuilt.
A company that cannot get the product on sale in time can ask the government for more time. It can do that up to five times. The more often a company has asked, the less likely it is to be buying anything soon - so this tells you who to call first.
| Times they asked for more time | Products | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Never asked | 4,689 | 69.9% |
| Asked once | 746 | 11.1% |
| Asked twice | 361 | 5.4% |
| Asked three times | 409 | 6.1% |
| Asked four times | 201 | 3.0% |
| Asked five times - the legal limit | 303 | 4.5% |
Read live from our records. Companies that have never asked are on their first deadline, with the clock running since approval day.
| Company | Name and full postal address |
|---|---|
| Product | The brand name, and a plain description of what it is |
| Category | What trade it belongs to, in ordinary words |
| Approved | The day the clock started |
| Deadline | The day they must be selling by |
| Delays | Whether they have pushed the deadline back before |
