Société de la Propriété Artistique des Dessins et Modèles
Société de la Propriété Artistique et des Dessins et Modèles (English: Society for Artistic Property and Designs and Models), often S.P.A.D.E.M. or SPADEM, was a copyright protection and collection society formed by visual artists and their heirs in France.[1] It is one of several such organizations in France which specialize according to specific kinds of art.[2] Its purpose is similar to that of ASCAP and other organizations which defend the legal rights of artists.
