I would like to add that "acquiring the CE mark of a product" sounds technically incorrect and a practice not allowed by the EU regulations. According to the EU regulation, a legal entity who fulfills some obligations, requisites and successfully follows a "conformity assessment procedure" is allowed to make a declaration of conformity to the relevant medical device directive and can apply the CE mark to the MD. Such conformity assessment procedure may involve notified bodies inspection and the assessment of the quality assurance system against specific requisites.
In case the only change is the name of the legal entity - e.g. because of a change in property of the firm, while keeping unchanged the rest of the things including the staff, managers, organizations, place of manufactures, suppliers, Notified Body, etc., then the process should be administrative only. However, it seems you are planning to change the NB as well...

Carmen,
In view of your description, it falls under the category of "voluntary change."
Please refer to the NBOG's Best Practice Guide entitled "Change of Notified Body" to understand the process.
Then you would need to communicate with your current NB.
