Yes. If you want to practice patent prosecution you need to pass the patent bar, and the patent bar is only available to a narrow and kind of weird set of engineering degrees.

Only some computer science degrees count, and only some degrees with "engineering" in the title count. The patent office is usually very strict with this and is not interested in hearing about why your degree should count.

They do offer alternative methods of qualifying based on the specific numbers of credits you have in certain classes, but that too is fairly strict.
