Aircraft
Aircraft X; ZZZ; First Officer leg; source on the right side and flaps 3 takeoff Runway XX. On climb out; ZZZ departure; we were assigned a turn and climb (heading 320/15;000 ft.). Climb profile was normal. Flap retraction was occurring normally with the autopilot engaged. After the flap lever was moved to 0 the speed bug remained below the barber pole but the aircraft accelerated. The aircraft then gave the audible 'high speed' alert. Situation was corrected by assuming control; disengaging the autopilot; increasing pitch and reducing thrust. Maintenance and Dispatch were notified through ACARS and a log book entry was made. Situation briefed and priority handling requested due to 0 flap landing. Taxi to Gate and engine shutdown were also uneventful. Inspection by Maintenance revealed no damage to the aircraft.
Flight crew reported a failure and overspeed of the trailing edge flaps during climb. Crew continued with priority handling to their destination where an inspection by maintenance was made.
