Newton used it himself long years before Leibniz came up with it. He invented it because he needed a tool non existent at the time to calculate the planet movements.
The controversy comes from the fact only that Newton published a couple of years later when he was in his late twenties(!).

To placate the Germans, however, most people give Leibniz credit for having been thinking it out independently from Newton at about the same time.
