"All Rights Reserved" is boilerplate from the old "Buenos Aires"
copyright convention, (a purely N+S American affair) and it lost
all meaning and relevance for UCB when USA ratified the Berne
Convention 60 years ago.

The final Buenos Aires signatory joined Berne a couple of decades
ago, rendering the convention null and void, and therefore this
boilerplate has no meaning or relevance for anybody.
