For some time now, intellectual property law has not been reserved solely for private individuals. It now extends to public entities. As a proof, since April 2007, a new agency to safeguard the intangible heritage of the State has been created in France. This interference of public persons in intellectual property law continues in the French code of intellectual property with the establishment of the protection of the names of public authorities. Cameroon is not left behind in this dynamic because through its current code of public procurement signed in 2018, there is a consideration of certain intellectual property rights for the protection of public interests. This consideration has also materialized through the establishment of a general administrative clauses applicable to intellectual services. In the light of French legislation, it will therefore be a question of showing how Cameroonian public procurement law uses certain intellectual property rights to talk about the emergence of public intellectual property.
