chemistry patent law

Do chemistry (biochemistry) students have a disadvantage against chemical engineers in the patent law field?
I read for chemical engineers a masters or PhD will not do much, but for plain chemistry/biochemistry a masters is required. Is this true and why is that?
Also..
I've fulfilled all the requirements for pharmacological chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental chemistry at my college (they're all chem degrees, just different subdivisions). I have one more year of school for raising my GPA and taking GE's so I can declare any one of these as my major. Do any of these degrees have an advantage over another in patent law (or affect it in any way)?
