Intellectual Property Law

Do you have to be an engineer or have a special background to get into any field of intellectual property law?

I am thinking of getting into intellectual property law, and I have heard that you need to be an engineer or have a science background if you want to work with certain patent or copywright issues. To what extent is this true? I don't have a B.A. in a science-related field. Are there any areas of I.P. law that are still open to people without a science/engineering or computer science background? Hope someone can help, thanks.

1. when it comes to the patent law ,u better try a course in commerce.The name of the subject is business law . And property law ,as far as i know is no were concerned with science. If the property law is concerned with checking of the methods used in construction or designs etc. Then u should be a civil Engineer.
