<p>Is civil engineering and okay major for patent law?</p>
<p>It's an acceptable degree (see my pinned post). But if you haven't yet entered college, I suspect that you are thinking about patent law a bit too early.</p>
<p>If you are thinking of majoring in civil engineering, do it because you like that subject, because you are about to spend four years working on learning it, and the work will be (for most people) intensive and difficult.</p>
