As explained in the February Byte, the MacIntosh is spelled that
way because it was originally mis-spelled that way.  The had
meant to spell it McIntosh, but on some early documentation spelled
it MacIntosh--and later decided to keep it that way.

I don't believe that the name "McIntosh" is trademarked.  The apples
are named after the farmer who first started growing the famous
apple tree (which he found on a portion of his Ontario farm).
