Can I still become an Intellectual Property lawyer even though I have an undergraduate English degree?

People say that it doesn't matter what degree you graduate with as long as you have a bachelor before applying to law school. So why then do people say if you want to go to intellectual property, you should have some kind of science degree?

1. My sister had degree in film (hons) then she did law. She still dreams of being a trademark lawyer. Bizarrely she works in IT. So I guess absolutely anyone can get a job in IT.
2. A science degree is better for patent law because it helps you understand the science and the scientists. For other forms of intellectual property law, such as trademarks and copyrights, it does not matter so much.
