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., a California sub C corporation, 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?

A "motion" is, by definition, a request upon the court to do something, e.g., make an order, decide a procedural problem, etc.. So, yes, you are waiting on a judge to act. You should look to see whether the court's local rules address appointment of counsel, and under what conditions. Not sure you will qualify.
