Difference between Klingon and Tengwar

So, pursuant to Ken Whistler's advice from back in
https://unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2016-m11/0091.html, I
submitted a request
(https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2021/21155-klingon-req.pdf) to have motion
87-M3 rescinded, thereby making it permissible at least to discuss
Klingon on its merits.
Although a formal response is yet to be recorded, I have been informed
that Unicode is declining to rescind its decision, absent some sort of
consent from Paramount, etc. And so I ask again: can someone please
tell me what the difference is between Klingon and tengwar (or Cirth,
etc) that one has this extra hoop to jump through (getting the decision
rescinded) and one doesn't? As far as I know, tengwar is in the same
situation as regards intellectual property. If I know how they're
different, maybe I can see about getting Klingon into line with it so
they'll be in the same situation. Can anyone help me find out what the
difference is?
