William Yockey, 28, accuses the Seattle-based global coffee chain of invasion of privacy, negligence, "intentional infliction of emotional distress" and negligent hiring, training and supervision of staff.

Would it be okay to say "privacy invasion" in place of invasion of privacy?

Your question basically means whether 'privacy invasion' and 'invasion of privacy' are the same. My answer to you is: 'Yes, they are. Thus, they can be used interchangeably in any context'.

Yes, they do mean the same thing, but they can't "be used interchangeably in any context." "Invasion of privacy" is a legal term; "privacy invasion" is not.
