[edit] CFR what?

I've removed the text "From 27 CFR 4.24, the following is a list of semi-generics:", because out of context "27 CFR 4.24" means nothing to the average reader; I presume it's a reference to legislation of some kind, but without being more explicit, or providing a link to an online copy or something, it's really not very useful.

While I'm at it, anyone know what "many US AVAs" means? If it's a standard term, it should probably at least link somewhere relevant. - IMSoP 14:01, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oops, forget about the AVA bit; spotted it now (and added an explicit connection). Would still like to know what "27 CFR 4.24" means, though. - IMSoP 14:06, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I wrote that originally, it's the section of U.S. law that specifies the legal definition of semi-generic. I think it decodes to "Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 4, article 24," but "27 CFR 4.24" is definitely the correct cite in writing. Anyhoo, it's linked now and references the defining role of the reg. If someone knows what section of the Canadian legal code it is, please add it. Wnissen 14:32, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I figured it was something like that, but it's a lot clearer now; it just looks really arcane when you come across abbreviated legal references like that without proper explanation. - IMSoP 18:41, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
