Lawmaker Koo Ja-geun proposed establishing a dedicated research institute for materials, components, and equipment (MSE) to combat global semiconductor patent disputes and enhance competitiveness. He emphasized integrating support policies for R&D, talent development, and corporate assistance.

Koo highlighted the financial burdens domestic companies face from global patent disputes and the need for a centralized organization to streamline support. The recent passage of the Special Act on Semiconductors underscores the urgency of establishing this research institute for national competitiveness.
