All rights reserved

From Free net encyclopedia

All rights reserved was a formal notice that all rights granted under existing copyright law (ie. the right to publish a work within a specific area) are retained by the copyright holder and that legal action may be taken against infringement. It was required as a result of the Buenos Aires Convention of 1910 which mandated that some statement of reservation of rights be made in order to secure protection in signatory countries of the convention.

The equivalent term in Spanish would be Todos los derechos reservados.

This notice became obsolete and essentially deprecated on August 23, 2000, as every country that was a member of the Buenos Aires Convention (which is the only copyright treaty requiring this notice to be used) is also a member of the Berne Convention which requires protection be granted without any formality of notice of copyright.
