contents Let $f_\ell(n, k)$ denote the clique number of the xor-product of $\ell$ isomorphic Kneser graphs KG(n,k). Alon and Lubetzky investigated the case of complete graphs as a coding theory problem and showed $f_\ell(n,1)\leq \ell n +1$. Imolay, Kocsis, and Schweitzer proved that $f_2(n,k)\leq n/k +c(k)$. Here, the order of magnitude of $c(k)$ is determined to be $Θ\left( k \binom{2k}{k} \right)$. By explicit constructions and by an algebraic proof, it is shown that $\ell n- 2\ell-1 \leq f_\ell(n,1)\leq \ell n-\ell+1$ (for all $n \geq 1$ and $\ell\geq 3$). Finally, it is proved that the order of magnitude of $f$ lies between $Ω\left(n^{\left\lfloor \log_2(\ell+1)\right\rfloor}\right)$ and $O\left(n^{\left\lfloor \frac{\ell+1}{2} \right\rfloor} \right)$ (as $\ell$, $k$ are given and $n\to \infty$). We conjecture that the lower bound gives the correct exponent.
