This result represents a sub-Riemannian version of the celebrated theorem of Bernstein. In this paper we extend the result in \cite{DGNP} to $C^2$ complete embedded minimal surfaces in $\mathbb H^1$ with empty characteristic locus. We prove that every such a surface without boundary must be a vertical plane.Differential Geometrytext
