The design of Scheme predates the ANSI Common Lisp standard, and some CL features such as lexical scoping may be considered to have been derived from Scheme.

Neither would registration be automatically invalidated on the basis of a court decision relating to legal access to or ownership of the source population from which a new variety was derived. Intellectual property rights exist independent of physical property rights.
