Buenos Aires Convention

The Buenos Aires Convention was a treaty proposed in 1910 which provided for copyright protection in all countries that were signatory to the convention, for a work created in any member country, where the work carries a notice containing a statement of reservation of rights. This is commonly done by the use of the phrase All rights reserved (or "Todos los derechos reservados") next to the copyright notice.
