Rechte ungeklärt
Explanation:
"Ungeklärt" means that it is not clear at all who is the owner of the rights, regardless to whether someone has claimed them ("angemeldet"; see above) or not. Thus, it has a slightly broader meaning.

"pend·ing (pĕn'dĭng)
adj.
Not yet decided or settled; awaiting conclusion or confirmation.
Impending; imminent.
prep.
While in the process of; during.
While awaiting; until."
