Class instrumentation..

Hi,
 
I have a general question regarding byte code manipulation. I hope
someone can shed some light on this. If I use byte code manipulation to
instrument a class.. would I be violating Wily Tech's patent?
 
Wily Tech (the makers of Introscope) has a patent (Patent number
6,260,187) which seems to cover pretty much the entire scope of byte
code engineering. Does byte code engineering violate this patent? 
 
Thanks,
Naveen
