all rights reserved
Legal protection phrase
All rights reserved is a legal notice indicating that the copyright holder retains all rights granted by copyright law.
The phrase appears in books, recordings, and other creative works, warning that reproduction or distribution requires permission.
Though once legally significant, the notice is now largely ceremonial—copyright protection exists automatically in most jurisdictions whether the phrase appears or not.
