Why is the application time for a patent so much shorter than that for a trademark?

Registering a trademark takes 9 months from submission of application to announcement, if there are no corrections, no objections, etc., but the actual situation is much longer than this time. When applying for a patent, we will use the invention patent as the basis for explanation. After receiving the invention patent application, if the preliminary examination meets the requirements of the patent law, it will be published within 18 months from the date of application. If there are notices of corrections, defects in application content, payment issues, etc., it may take 2 or 3 years to announce.
