"All rights reserved" is a phrase that originated in copyright law as part of copyright notices. Copyright law in most countries no longer requires such notices, but the phrase persists. The original understanding of the phrase as relating specifically to copyright may have been supplanted by common usage of the phrase to refer to any legal right, although it is probably understood to refer at least to copyright.
In former times, it was required to add the term All rights reserved as a written notice that all rights granted under existing copyright law (i.e., 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.

Its either a patent or copyright number. Most likely a copyright number.
The "all rights reserved" part basically implicates that they may sue anyone for anything they feel has abused their rights under the copyright law. Or even more simply when using our product, you don't have any rights.
