Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California
As a pro se, I filed a complaint in the U.S. Court Southern District of California for breach of contract and misuse of intellectual property against a S&P 500 company. The docket number is 11-CV-00424. The name of the defendant is Snap-on Incorporated and the corporation I 100% own, Novel Wares, Inc. is the plaintiff. I filed a motion with the court for court appointed council for the matter herein. Do I have to wait for a judge's order to have court appointed council?

You've got a long wait coming. There is no right to 'appointed counsel' except in a criminal case.
I looked up your case and read some of the filed documents, including your motion. Although there is a right to appointed counsel in civil cases involving certain civil-rights violatons, your case does not, and your motion for appointed counsel will be denied. Indeed, your motion would seem to contain material misrepresentations, and your First Amended Complaint is full of errors. The exhibits tend to show that you have a good product but your lawsuit will go nowhere until you learn the basics of Federal pleading, stick to the truth and ask for damages that can be proven to have been suffered rather than speculative future revenue losses.
