In this talk, after reviewing the dynamical gluon mass generation mechanism within the pinch technique framework and its phenomenological predictions, we will introduce the modern formulation of the pinch technique which makes extensive use of the Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization formalism. In this framework a certain auxiliary function \Lambda_{\mu\nu}(q) - and its associated form factors G(q^2) and L(q^2) -play a prominent role. After showing that in the (background) Landau gauge \Lambda_{\mu\nu}(q) fully constrains the QCD ghost sector, we show that G(q^2) coincides with the Kugo-Ojima function u(q^2), whose infrared behavior has traditionally served as the standard criterion for the realization of the Kugo-Ojima confinement mechanism. The determination of the behavior of G(q^2) (and therefore of the Kugo-Ojima function) for all momenta through a combination of the available lattice data on the gluon and ghost propagators as well as the dynamical equation G(q^2) satisfies, will be then discussed. In particular we will show that (i) in the deep infrared the function deviates considerably from the value associated with the realization of the Kugo-Ojima confinement scenario, and (ii) establish the dependence on the renormalization point of u(q^2), and especially of its value at q^2=0.
