"All rights reserved."
"All rights reserved."
I know that "are" is omitted between "All rights" and "reserved" and the full sentence is "All rights are reserved.".
But is there a meaning difference if I think "reserved" just modifies "All rights" behind like "Cars (that are) parked..." So the full phrase might be "All rights that are reserved."
I think that whether I see it as a phrase or a sentence, there is not much difference between them or do you have other good examples which have no meaning difference in such structures?
Thank you.
