What is the underlying theory behind Coverity? Is it based on separation logic as well?

I'd be interested in this as well; all I could find on their site is that it is uses "patened techniques." Considering the first seperation logic paper was published in 2001 [1] and Coverity founded in 2002 [2], they probably did not (at least originally) use the same techniques.
I'm guessing their site is designed to sell to people and not have the details.
