MUMBAI, India, Aug. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641099887 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences on August 19, 2026, for Interior Trim Retainer Clip System Comprising Polycarbonate Reinforced With Graphene.

Inventors include Mr. R. Endymion Grosious; Dr. Natrayan Lakshmaiya; and Dr Ramya Mohan.

The application for the patent was published on August 28, 2026, under issue no. 35/2026.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an interior trim retainer clip system manufactured from a polycarbonate (PC) composite reinforced with graphene. The invention provides a fastening clip with significantly enhanced fatigue life, improved elasticity, and greater resistance to long-term deformation compared to conventional nylon-based clips. The incorporation of graphene improves mechanical stiffness, tensile recovery, and wear resistance while reducing the likelihood of fracture during installation or repeated use. The clip system ensures secure fastening of interior trim panels, reduces rattling noise, enhances dimensional stability under temperature variations, and offers extended operational durability in automotive interiors. The composite material allows precision manufacturing through injection molding, ensuring consistent performance, lightweight structure, and compatibility with mass production. The invention provides a high-performance trim fastening solution that improves reliability, longevity, and overall vehicle interior quality.
