Good news and bad news.
The good news is the paperwork was submitted several months ago. According to their website, we should have had an answer in about 3 months.
Bad news. After about 3 months I got a letter which I thought was going to be the issue of the copyright. Turns out they wanted more money to process the order - they'd raised the rates but hadn't posted it on their website or on the forms.
More bad news - I met someone who works at the patent office and she said it could take years before we hear back. They have a huge backlog.
Good news - my wife, a copyright lawyer, says we can still go ahead with the medal since it is unique to our organization and we created it.
