Science isn't organised in 'guilds' and everybody has the right to invent, which would include physicists. But mainly the engineers invent things, because they have more training in the use of the required means. Also the usual job description of engineers is more related to invention than those of physicst. But there exists no laws, that would prohibit inventions by physicists -at least not in Germany. US laws are different, however, and nobody actually knows, what they forbid or demand (besides a set of 'sorcerers', which charge insane fees for legal informations). TH
