Fans in the know do acknowledge the origins of Punk and attribute it to many American bands. Mc Claren bottled it, gave it a name and spawned a sub genre.

We could be pedantic and say that the British invasion in the 60's was a catalyst for the forerunners of Punk but then we would be going around in circles I guess.
Oh McLaren was pretty wily - I have respect for him as a businessman, just not a human being. And he's probably largely responsible for the London scene.
