“In Melluzzo v. Morton, 534 F.2d 860 , 863 (9th Cir. 1976), we construed Verrue as 'holding that lack or insubstantiality of sales of material from the claims in question is relevant to the question of marketability. It is not, however, conclusive proof of lack of value. The inference to that effect, when all evidence is considered, can be found to have been overcome by evidence of marketability.'”
