Here's the patent text:
http://www.patents.ibm.com/details?pn=US05327529__

Their explanation of patent claims:
http://www.geoworks.com/technology/ipr/Rev7GeoWIP.html

Here's the press release claiming royalties:
http://www.geoworks.com/technology/ipr/pr_gwrx-ipr.html

Their stock price has gone from $2 to $40 in the last two months. The rise
seems to be based on expectations of a large royalty stream from this
patent.

I see no mention of wireless in the patent, yet they appear to only be
applying the patent to WAP. It looks to me like a generic patent on the
concept of stylesheets.
