Not really. Some scientists invent things they use in their research, and get a patent, but most inventors don't actually do science - no original research, and they don't publish.

Some scientists may be inventors.
But not all inventors are scientists.
We could argue that Edison was an Inventor.
He certainly had no scientific training.

If you mean inventors, only if they do science.
