Abstract.   We define a family of graded coproducts for Clifford algebras over finite dimensional real or complex vector spaces and study their basic properties.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.   11E88, 15A66, 16W30.

Key words and phrases.   Clifford algebra, superalgebra, graded coproduct, coalgebra.
