Be careful about what rights you sign away in a contract.
Not sure where you came up with that info, but that's false. Designer retains ALL rights to ALL designs unless it specifies Full Rights are transfered in the contract.

Only time this would not be true is if the Designer is an employee of a company and is designing something thru that company, then the company owns the rights.
