    The author proves a gradient inequality for the subelliptic heat kernel on nilpotent Lie groups \(G\) of \(H\)-type \(|\nabla P_i|\leq K\;P_i(|\nabla\;f|)\), where \(P_i\) is the heat semigroup corresponding to the sublaplacian on \(G\), \(\nabla\) is the subelliptic gradient, and \(K\) is a constant. The proof relies on some previous results of the author concerning the pointwise estimates for Lie groups of \(H\)-type. Then these heat kernel estimates can be adapted to establish the above inequality in the setting of \(H\)-type groups.
