I am qualified to sit for the patent bar exam

I got tired of the handful of students I always get who try to get an A in my course by cheating and by taking unpleasant advantage of my generosity with points.  I have decided to get out of teaching.

My mom suggested to me a career in writing patents, maybe ten years ago.  I don't want to take my parents' advice for anything so central to my individuality as my career, but I have failed to find a satisfactory career on my own.  A satisfactory career on my own would have been as a scientist.  So, technology transfer offices in Los Angeles, here I come.

Lisa Parmley and associates have set up a very helpful website and marketing engine for studying for the patent bar exam.  Today, I learned unexpectedly from their one-video-per-day email introduction to the field that I am qualified to take the patent bar exam because of my Cal State L.A. coursework.  My master's degree has nothing to do with my qualification.  How about that.

30 semester units of chemistry courses for chemistry majors are required, with grades > C.  This means 45 quarter units.  Here are mine:

CSULA spring quarter 2005
Chem 301C organic chemistry:  3 units, A-

CSULA fall quarter 2005
Chem 401 physical chemistry I:  4 units, A
Chem 431A biochemistry:  3 units, A

CSULA winter quarter 2006
Chem 402 physical chemistry II:  4 units, A
Chem 503 advanced biochemistry:  3 units, A

CSULA spring quarter 2006
Chem 403 physical chemistry III:  4 units, A
Chem 454L special topics in chemistry:  4 units, B <----- not sure if a special topics course counts

CSULA fall quarter 2006
Chem 420 advanced organic chemistry:  4 units, A

CSULA winter quarter 2007
Chem 438 bioinorganic and  bioorganic chemistry:  4 units, A
Chem 501 quantum chemistry:  4 units, A
Chem 507 protein structure:  4 units, A

I have omitted seminar courses and graduate research units because I don't think they will qualify.
Let's see the total.  3+4+3+4+3+4+4+4+4+4+4= 41 quarter units, assuming that my special topics course is valid for the patent bar exam.  I need four more quarter units.

I have them from UCLA.

UCLA fall quarter 2009
Chem C215A quantum chemistry methods:  4 units, B-

But the USPTO might consider that as the same course as Chem 501 from CSULA winter quarter 2007.

I could use my semester units of Chem 4A and 4B.

UC Berkeley fall semester 1993
Chem 4A general chemistry with quantitative analysis:  5 units, B-

UC Berkeley spring semester 1994
Chem 4B general chemistry with quantitative analysis:  5 units, B

It is hard to use the UC Berkeley units because for each course I need to submit the course description from the catalog of the relevant year.  I must also submit a copy of the front cover of that catalog and a copy of the pages that describe the courses necessary for the chemistry major.  I can make the copies myself, for Cal State LA, by visiting the campus on a Friday next month.  Same for UCLA.  But for UC Berkeley I might have to pay for it.  If I pay for it, then I don't have to bother with UCLA and I don't even have to worry about the questionable 4 units from the special topics course at Cal State LA.

Ok, I'd better pay for the catalog page copies from UC Berkeley.

Well, whaddaya know.  Now they're free.
Catalog from 1993:

I will just print the relevant pages at my ELAC gig.

One month before taking the exam, I must complete and submit the application:  https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/OED_GRB.pdf
