A patent is not revoked - one or more claims can be invalidated, whereby any remaining claims remain in force. If all claims are invalidated, then you may have various options to effectively re-validate the patent claims through various post-grant patent procedures. You should consult a patent professional who specializes in post-grant procedures.
