Yes, there are several legal reasons a patent may be revoked in whole or in part.
For example, if the application failed to name all of the inventors or withheld information about known examples already invented by others, the patent is void, as a matter of law.
Under US patent law, a patent may also be reexamined for various reasons.
A court can also determine that one or more claims of a patent should not have been issued based upon existing inventions or publications at the time of the filing or the invention by the inventors, depending upon the facts.

With a patent and copyright protection can a seller charge what ever they want?
Copyright protection does not in any way lead to arbitrary pricing. In the case of Patent there is a sort of monopoly granted to the person. However, he/she cannot charge arbitrary price. The reason for this is that a patent is granted to protect the inventor. But at the same time the patent must be worked upon and the general public must be benefited from it. In case the patent is not worked or public is not benefitted out of it at reasonable prices the patent may even be revoked or a compulsory licence may be granted.

Difference between patent and patent pending?
A patent is a grant from a patent office, such as the United States Patent Office. "Patent Pending" is a phrase that an application for a patent has been filed and is in some stage in the process of obtaining a patent. Thus, a patent can be presently enforced while a patent that is merely pending is unenforceable but can mature into a patent that can be enforced. Once the pending patent matures, the patent owner can sue for back damages or reasonable royalties starting from the filing date of the patent.
